Published: March 2025

Whole-cell patch clamp allows the evaluation of neuronal excitability and characterization of synaptic transmission. With this technique, it is possible to characterize the neuron maturation level and its integration into the hippocampal circuit. This facilitates the identification of the different stages of neural progenitor cells in the adult brain and their contribution to hippocampal function.

Objective: To analyze the effects of multiplane reconstruction (MPR) technology with multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in the etiological diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction (AIO). Obtaining clear images is of great help in determining the type and etiology of AIO, and doctors can quickly develop treatment plans to improve prognosis and efficacy.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with suspected AIO admitted to our hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected as the observation objects.

Dual action of sphingosine 1-phosphate pathway in in vitro models of global cerebral ischemia.

Dept. of Health Sciences, Section of Clinical Pharmacology and Oncology, University of Florence, Florence, Italy. Electronic address:

It is well accepted that sphingolipids play an important role in the pathological process of cerebral ischemia. In the present study we have investigated the involvement of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) pathway in two different in vitro models of global ischemia. In organotypic hippocampal slices exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) we evaluated the mRNA expression of S1P metabolic enzymes and receptors (S1P) by Real Time-PCR.

Patch-Clamp Recordings in Isolated Neural Cells, Acute Tissue Slices, and Brain Rosettes.

Methods Mol Biol

March 2025

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

Patch-clamp recordings are a fundamental technique in neuroscience to study the electrical activity of individual cells. When applied to isolated neural cells, acute tissue slices, or brain rosettes, this method provides valuable insights into neuronal function and network activity in different experimental models. Here, we describe a detailed protocol to perform patch-clamp recording in those cell preparations.
