Protocols

Primary Embryonic Hippocampal Neuron Culture
Primary embryonic hippocampal neuron culture is an in vitro method in which hippocampi from embryonic rodents are dissected, enzymatically or mechanically dissociated, plated on adhesive substrates, and maintained in defined neuronal medium or in low-density sandwich/co-culture formats to support neuronal attachment, neurite extension, polarity formation, dendritic arborization, and synapse formation. The main readouts are cell survival, neuronal purity, neurite outgrowth, axon-dendrite polarization, synaptic marker development, and functional neuronal activity, assessed by phase-contrast microscopy, immunocytochemistry for neuronal/glial markers, live imaging, or electrophysiology depending on the downstream experiment.
