Elevated temperature during slicing enhances acute slice preparation quality

We demonstrate that brain dissection and slicing using solutions warmed to near-physiological temperature (~ +34˚C), greatly enhance slice quality without affecting intrinsic electrophysiological properties of the neurons. Improved slice quality is seen not only when using young (< 1 month),...
