Abstract excerpt
The NPY phenotype expressed in a subset of rat neocortical neurons is influenced by a variety of epigenetic factors. In the present study, we analyzed the role of synaptically driven spontaneous bioelectric (action potential) activity (SBA) and neurotrophic factors. Our model systems are organoty...
