MEANS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING NEURONAL TOXICITY

摘要

The present invention pertains to the field of diagnostics for neuronal toxicity and toxicological assessments for risk stratification of chemical compounds. Specifically, it relates to a method for diagnosing neuronal toxicity. It also relates to a method for determining whether a compound is capable of inducing such neuronal toxicity in a subject and to a method of identifying a drug for treating neuronal toxicity. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device and a kit for diagnosing neuronal toxicity.
