The immense complexity and cellular heterogeneity of the vertebrate nervous system makes it difficult to study many types of neural processes at a cellular and molecular level. In recent years, the establishment of cell culture model systems for almost every region and cell type in the nervous system has been crucial in facilitating such studies and in heralding some key breakthroughs in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms.Neural Ce...
