ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a culture of human olfactory neurons. The neurons may display a normal neuronal pathology or a pathology characteristic of a generalized central nervous system disease. The cultured neurons can be used for neurotoxicity tests, screening for therapeutic drugs and anti-viral agents, and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.
