Mouse Primary Neurons

Neurons are the dynamic, anatomically, functionally, and trophically vital units of the brain, responsible for electrochemically transmitting information across the nervous system. While all neurons share common morphological features, their regional specialization is what truly drives brain function.

 

For researchers dedicated to studying complex neurological disorders, cell lines often fail to capture the nuanced biology of specific brain regions. That is why we offer primary mouse neurons isolated from distinct, functionally defined areas of the mouse brain.

 

We're thrilled to announce the expansion of our neuroscience offerings with four new primary mouse neuron products! These neurons are ready to be the cornerstone of your in vitro models, providing the reliability and consistency you need to advance your understanding of brain function and neurological disorders.

Our Four New Primary Mouse Neurons

 

Mouse Neurons-forebrain

  • Isolated from CD-1 mouse forebrain or C57BL/6 mouse forebrain.
  • Cells are cryopreserved at P0 and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >1 x 106 cells in 1 ml volume.
  • The forebrain governs critical higher-order functions like perception, language, decision making, and memory.
  • These neurons from forebrain are useful for studying conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.

 

Mouse Neurons-midbrain

  • Isolated from CD-1 mouse midbrain or C57BL/6 mouse midbrain
  • Cells are cryopreserved at P0 and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >1 x 106 cells in 1 ml volume.
  • The midbrain regulates motor control & coordination and houses the substantia nigra (movement initiation) and the colliculi (audio/visual processing).
  • These neurons from midbrain are crucial for Parkinson's disease research and understanding disorders that affect motor control, sensory information processing, and coordination.

Recommended Reagents

Our Neuronal Medium (NM), used with Neuronal Growth Supplement (NGS, Cat. No. 1562), is a complete medium optimized for in vitro neuronal growth.

 

This medium is also available in a phenol red–free formulation.

Commonly used as a coating agent, poly-L-lysine (PLL) enhances cell adhesion, supports primary cell survival, and promotes neurite outgrowth in culture.
