Cell Culture of Primary Cerebellar Granule Cells
Abstract
Cerebellar granule cells are often used as a model system for the study of neuronal development, function and pathology, including the analysis of activity-dependent survival/apoptosis of neurons and the mechanisms of neuroprotection. Cerebellar granule cells are generated postnatally and constitute the largest homogeneous neuronal population of the mammalian brain. In addition, cerebellar granule cells cultured in vitro develop characteristics of mature cerebellar granule cells seen in vivo, such as an extensive neuritic network, expression of excitatory amino acid receptors and production and release of -L: glutamate. Taken together, these features make cerebellar granule cells a unique model system that has been extensively characterised and used for in vitro studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
