New publication: Video Article about the NeuroCart by JoVE

In the past two decades, CHDR has developed a computerized test battery of neuropsychological and neurophysiological measurements sensitive to CNS effects of drugs. This test battery, called the NeuroCart, is used repeatedly over the day to measure pharmacodynamic effects of a new compound. It thereby provides evidence of the drug's ability to have the desired effect, to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, or the lack thereof. Also, outcomes of the test battery could provide information on the mechanism of action of a compound as the individual tests correspond to specific drug-responsive CNS domains.

To see how the NeuroCart is used, watch the new Video Article by JoVE presented below. To read the full article, please follow this link to JoVE's website.
