title: Images of cultured neurons: morphological and functional information.
abstract: The in vitro culture of neuronal cells is a useful tool for studying, in a controlled way, neurobiological and neuropharmacological phenomena. A first step towards the understanding of these phenomena is described. Effects of simulated excitatory/inhibitory synapses, artificially positioned along the digitized image of neural arborizations, are presented.
