| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Functional evaluation assays using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons are expected to predict the convulsion toxicity of new drugs. However, culture protocol on the micro-electrode array (MEA) in hiPSC-derived neurons and an evaluation index of MEA data are not well known. In this study, we investigated the difference of spontaneous firings and drug responses depending on the type of human iPS cell-derived neurons, cell density, medium conditions, and astrocyte co-culture conditions. It was found that the responsiveness differs depending on the culture conditions, and that one parameter is difficult to detect seizure-like toxicity. We also show that the synchronized burst firings (SBFs) detection method using AI, nonlinear time series analysis method, and frequency analysis method are effective as analysis method.
