Orexin enhances neuronal synchronization in adult rat hypothalamic culture: a model to study hypothalamic function

Abstract

This study, for the first time, demonstrates that adult hypothalamic cultures are viable in vitro for a prolonged duration and are electrophysiologically active. In addition, the study shows that orexin enhances neural synchronization in adult hypothalamic cultures.
