| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research proposal, I aimed to isolate single neuron from entorhinal cortex layer 2/3 of adult mouse, which is most likely vulnerable neuronal population in Alzheimer’s disease patients. First, I dissected out entorhinal cortex layer 2/3 from mouse brain slice under stereoscopic microscope, followed by trypsin treatment. Next, I picked single neurons with micropipette, and cDNAs fom each single neuron were synthesized for RT-PCR analysis. Several marker genes specific for entorhinal cortex layer 2/3 can be successfully detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR.
