Abstract
Cultures prepared from dispersed fetal hypothalamic tissue have cells which can be identified as neurons by their morphology and electrical activity. The elongation of neuritic processes in these cultures is increased by treatment with 1‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara‐C). Hypothalamic cultures have measurable quantities of immunoreactive substance P and neurotensin, and the neurons can accumulate (3H)GABA.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
