Researchers Develop New Technique for Modeling Neuronal Connectivity Using Stem Cells (IMAGE)
Caption
An example of TH-positive projections (red) from the inner chamber to the area of the outer chamber after 21 days. Scale bar = 100 ?m. GFP (green) indicates neocortical neurons and TH (red) indicates mDA neurons. In the lower picture, each type has been tagged with fluorescent markers so that the locations and types can be identified. The fine tendrils indicate the growth of synapses between the neocortical and mDA neurons, mimicking the structures found in vivo.
