In vitro-based platforms to investigate human brain circuitry. Schematic illustrating different approaches to investigate human brain circuitry in vitro. Patient-specific somatic cells such as skin fibroblasts or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that are easily isolated can be reprogrammed into hiPSCs using the Yamanka factors (OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4). hiPSCs can then be used as a source for generating multiple cell types in various platforms to investigate human brain circuitry.
