Explant Culture of Neural Tissue
Description
The intricate structure of the vertebrate nervous system arises from a complex series of events involving cell differentiation, cell migration, and changes in cell morphology. Studying these processes is essential to our understanding of nervous system function as well as our ability to diagnose and treat disorders that resu...

Transcript
Explant cultures serve as a technique to investigate the development of specific cell populations and neural structures. In developmental neuroscience experiments, explants are neural tissues excised from an embryo for continued development in vitro. These cultures give researchers the ability to manipulate and visua...
