A ‘Facebook’ for neurons: rebuilding a realistic corticostriatal ‘social network’ from dissociated cells.

A ‘Facebook’ for neurons: rebuilding a realistic corticostriatal ‘social network’ from dissociated cells.

Many of the methods available for the study of cortical influences on striatal neuronshave serious problems. In vivo the connectivity is so sparse that the study ofindividual cortical inputs to striatum is nearly impossible. Mixed corticostriatalcultures develop many connections from striatal cells...
