In vitro cell cultures are an important tool for obtaining insights into cellular processes in an
isolated system and a supplement to in vivo animal experiments. While primary dissociated …

Slices of CNS tissue prepared from young rodents can be maintained in culture for many
weeks to months. The basic requirements are simple: a stable substratum, culture medium …

Hippocampal organotypic slice cultures maintained 10–20 days in vitro express a high level
