[Abstract]  Slices of neuronal tissue maintain a high degree of topographical and functional properties of neurons and glia and therefore are extensively used for measurements of neuronal activity at the molecular, cellular and network levels. However, the lifespan of slice preparations is narrow, averaging of 6-8 hours. Moreover, the average viability of brain slices varies according to animal age and region of interest, leading to the high variability and low reproducibility of recorded data.

Previous techniques to increase the viability of brain slices focused on reducing cytotoxicity by chemical means, including alterations of the artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) composition to alleviate the direct damage of the slicing procedure or adding protective antioxidants to reduce ...
[摘要]  [摘要 ] 神经元组织的切片保持了神经元和神经胶质的高度地形和功能特性,因此被广泛用于在分子,细胞和网络水平上测量神经元的活性。然而,切片制剂的寿命很窄,平均为6-8小时。而且,脑切片的平均生存力会根据动物的年龄和目标区域而变化,从而导致记录数据的高变异性和低再现性。

先前增加脑切片活力的技术集中于通过化学手段降低细胞毒性,包括改变人工脑脊液(aCSF )成分以减轻切片过程的直接损害或添加保护性抗氧化剂以减少细胞退化。在该协议中,我们将体温过低与恢复室中aCSF 条件(pH,温度和细菌水平)的牢固控制结合使用,以显着延长切片的生存能力。

考虑到其用途的广度,提高切片的生存能力和寿命可以大大提高数据的可重复性,并减少神经生理学研究中使用的动物的成本,时间和数量。

[背景 ] 神经组织切片提供基本的神经科学研究独特的优势,因为它使神经网络活动的直接调查和药理化合物对中枢神经系统的影响。因此,迫切需要为实验目的以最高质量制备和维持切片的活力。神经元切片的生存能力取决于几个内在和外在因素(Buskila 等人,2014),根据切片过程可将其分为三个阶段:切片前(切片前),切片中(切片)和切片后切片)切片程序。在切片前降低切片活力的主要因素包括局部缺血和缺氧,这是由于消除了持续供血引起的(Buskila et ...
