In vitro systems are widely used for investigation of neurotoxicant-
induced perturbations of cellular functions. A variety of systems exist
that demonstrate certain similarities to neurotoxicant-induced events in
the intact animal are discussed, including single-cell types, systems that
consider endpoints relevant in toxicology, and systems that consider
heterogeneous cell interactions. Relationships between the in vitro and in
vivo systems are examined in which ethanol, lead, polychlorinated biphenyl
compounds, and organophosphate insecticides are examples. Situations in
which the in vitro systems have been used to advantage are provided, along
with cautions associated with their use.
