The Corticostriatal System in Dissociated Cell Culture
The sparse connectivity within the striatum in vivo makes the investigation of individual corticostriatal synapses very difficult. Most studies of the corticostriatal input have been done using electrical stimulation under conditions where it is hard to identify the precise origin of the cortical input. We have employed an in vitro dissociated cell culture system that allows the identification ...
متن کاملDissociated neurons of the pupal honeybee brain in cell culture.
Primary cell cultures were prepared from specific regions of the pupal honeybee brain which are involved in proboscis extension learning. Defined areas could be dissociated purely by mechanical treatment. We show that cultured neurons regenerate new neurites and remain viable for up to three weeks in a serum-free, chemically-defined medium. Several labelling techniques were employed to identify...
متن کاملCatecholamine toxicity in cerebral cortex in dissociated cell culture.
Identification of endogenous toxins and characterization of the mechanisms by which toxins produce cell injury and death may help understand both normal modeling of cell populations and connections in the CNS as well as abnormal cell loss. The toxicity of catecholamines intrinsic to the CNS was investigated using the model system of rat cerebral cortex in dissociated cell culture. All catechola...
متن کاملRebuilding a realistic corticostriatal “social network” from dissociated cells
Many of the methods available for the study of cortical influences on striatal neurons have serious problems. In vivo the connectivity is so complex that the study of input from an individual cortical neuron to a single striatal cell is nearly impossible. Mixed corticostriatal cultures develop many connections from striatal cells to cortical cells, in striking contrast to the fact that only con...
متن کاملDissociated neurons from normal and mutant Drosophila larval central nervous system in cell culture.
A primary dissociated cell culture of Drosophila larval central nervous system is reported. Divisions of neuroblasts and vigorous outgrowth of neurites could be observed in culture. Within 24 hr cultured cells exhibited characteristic neuronal morphology and unimpaired ability to synthesize and accumulate acetylcholine. This cell culture system renders easy access to experimental analysis of no...
