Figure 2.
BLA-derived neurospheres contain functional neurons. (a) Several Thy1- YFP+ cells are present in a basolateral amygdala (BLA)-derived neurosphere. Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue) Scale bar, 50 μm. (b) Higher magnification of a fixed Thy1-YFP+ neuron (green) co-labeled with βIII-tubulin (red). Scale bar, 10 μm (c) An example of a GAD67+ neuron in a BLA-derived neurosphere. (d, e) Whole-cell recordings from YFP+ cells (scale bar, 10 μm), showing that depolarizing current injections evoke small amplitude action potentials (e).
