Organotypic Cultures as a Model to Study Adult Neurogenesis in CNS Disorders

Figure 1

Different organotypic slices can be obtained from P2 to P7 postnatal forebrain or cerebellum by coronal sections of 350–400 μm (a). In (b), the brain sectioning to obtain 45° transversal sections of s. nigra/striatum/SVZ/cortex (sn, substantia nigra; cp, caudate putamen; lv, lateral ventricle; cx, cortex) used to model PD is shown.
