Hippocampal slice preparation in rats acutely suppresses immunoreactivity of microtubule‐associated protein (Map2) and glycogen levels without affecting numbers of glia or levels of the glutamate transporter VGlut1

摘要

IntroductionWith its preservation of cytoarchitecture and synaptic circuitry, the hippocampal slice preparation has been a critical tool for studying the electrophysiological effects of pharmacological and genetic manipulations. To analyze the maximum number of slices or readouts per dissection, long incubation times postslice preparation are commonly used. We were interested in how slice integrity is affected by incubation postslice preparation.
