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...
