Abstract excerpt
A series of studies from our laboratory has established an aggregate culture system of fetal rat brain cells that can serve as a model for studying regulatory processes of the developing neuropeptide Y (NPY)-producing neurons. Using aggregate cultures derived from 17-day-old fetal rat cortex, we addressed these questions: 1) Does brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) stimulate NPY production, and if so, is...
