High content screening (HCS) has now become integrated into all aspects of drug discovery from target identification and validation to hit generation and lead optimisation through to toxicological profiling. In neuroscience, the ability to perform automated neurite outgrowth and neuronal morphology screening has been a significant driver of HCS implementation. This approach has evolved significantly from relatively simple measures of total neurite length to detailed multi-parametric characterisation of neuronal morphology.
