Abstract:
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) exerts a mitogenic effecton cortical neuroblasts, whereas neurotrophin 3 (NT3) promotesdifferentiation in these cells. Here we provide evidencethat both the mitogenic effect of bFGF and the differentiationpromot

Materials & Methods:
Cortical precursors from green fluorescent protein (GFP; Okabe et al., 1997) / and / mice were seeded on poly-L-lysine- and laminin-coated glass coverslips to obtain 25% of GFP cells. This low proportion of GFP cells makes it possible to reliably
