Mouse Striatal Neurons: MStN

The striatum is a subcortical part of the forebrain. It receives and processes input signals from different parts of the cerebral cortex. With its robust interactions among cholinergic, dopaminergic, and GABAergic neurotransmitter systems, striatum plays a key role in voluntary movement, reward-based habit learning, addiction, procedural memory formation, and cognitive dysfunctions in Parkinson’s disease. Studies using striatal neurons will allow a better understanding of the striatal-related functions and diseases. Cultures of striatal neurons can be applied for a variety of experiments including toxicity test, immunostaining, live cell imaging, co-culturing, electrophysiology, and more.
