Abstract excerpt
Genetic components of the neuronal phenotype are regulated by epigenetic factors--trophic molecules and neuronal activity--during neurodifferentiation. Developing neurons in dissociated cultures of embryonic mouse spinal cord show spontaneous electrical activity after one week in culture. We now report that the blockade of this spontaneous electrical activity for two days with tetrodotoxin (TTX) causes virtually...
