Cerebellar Granule Cells in Neurotoxicology (Jan Oberdoerster, Aventis Corporation, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina). Cultured neurons allow the researcher to investigate mechanisms of toxicity on a relatively uniform population of cells. Primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells are post-mitotic neurons that are readily isolated and may be used for experimental procedures including electrophysiology, neuronal maturation, and various biochemical and molecular analyses.
