Abstract
In this Chap. 1 will present the results regarding neuro-pharmacological studies utilizing cortical and hippocampal neuronal networks coupled to MEA devices. In this Chap. 1 will show firstly the effect of ionotropic glutamate’s agonists on the network activity (cf. Sect. 6.1) (Frega et al. 2012); then I will describe how the network activity is modulated by antiepileptic drugs (cf. Sect. 6.2) (Colombi et al. 2013).
