The new application report highlights that high-throughput APC recordings of hippocampal neurons are promising for improving treatment of cognitive dysfunction, psychosis, and schizophrenia.

A PhD from the University of Copenhagen has made significant progress by using the Qube 384 automated patch clamp (APC) platform to record α5-containing GABAA receptors from acutely isolated primary neurons.
This research highlights the importance of using natural primary hippocampal neurons to evaluate the effects of antipsychotic drugs on GABAergic activity, particularly from the perspective of drug discovery for cognitive function and schizophrenia. Previous studies have relied on heterologous expression systems, such as HEK cells expressing α5-containing GABAA receptors.
However, this study emphasizes the value of investigating these effects in primary hippocampal neurons, which more accurately reflect physiological conditions.
