Throughout the cerebral cortex the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory neurons is roughly 80% excitatory neurons and 20% inhibitory neurons irrespectively of the particular function of specific regions. Alterations in this ratio are common in major diseases like epilepsy or schizophrenia. We investigate the repair capability of transplanted inhibitory neurons into existing neuronal networks in culture with predefined ratios of excitatory to inhibitory neurons this ratio are common in major diseases like epilepsy or schizophrenia.
