Acute Slice Patch-Clamp Recordings to Characterize Neural Populations in the Hippocampal Subgranular Zone
摘要
Whole-cell patch clamp allows the evaluation of neuronal excitability and characterization of synaptic transmission. With this technique, it is possible to characterize the neuron maturation level and its integration into the hippocampal circuit. This facilitates the identification of the different stages of neural progenitor cells in the adult brain and their contribution to hippocampal function.
