Rat Cortical Neurons exhibit diverse morphologies, express MAP2/TUJ1, and model neurodegenerative diseases and cortical neural network function.
Rat Cortical Neurons (RCNs) are primary cells isolated from the cerebral cortex of embryonic rats. These neurons are cryopreserved at the primary culture stage and exhibit diverse morphologies, including pyramidal, bipolar, and multipolar subtypes, characterized by dendritic spines or smooth processes. They express neuronal markers such as TUJ1, MAP2, and Satb2/Ctip2. Functionally, RCNs participate in synaptic transmission, neural network formation, and plasticity, They serve as valuable models for studying neurodegeneration (e.g., Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease) and oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. The cerebral cortex, from which RCNs are derived, is critical in processes such as cognition, memory, attention, language, and consciousness.
