摘要: Abstract Antipsychotics are known to modulate dopamine and other neurotransmitters which is often thought be the mechanism underlying their therapeutic effects. Nevertheless, less studied consequences of antipsychotics on neuronal function may contribute efficacy. Revealing complete picture behind action paramount importance for precision medicine accurate drug selection. Progress in cell engineering allows generation induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) differentiation a variety types, providing new tools study antipsychotics. Here we use excitatory cortical neurons derived from iPSCs explore response levels Clozapine as measured by transcriptomic output, proxy homeostasis. To our surprise, but agreement with results many investigators studying glial-like cells, had very strong effect cholesterol metabolism. More than quarter (12) all annotated genes (46) genome were significantly changed at FDR
