Modularity of the mGlu5 receptor explored with Scientifica's SliceMaster system confirming possible therapeutic route for enhancing learning and memory
Researchers at the Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co have used Scientifica's SliceMaster multi-slice recording system to help expose the complex role of mGlu5 receptors in early and late hippocampal LTP. The semi-automated system, combined with NPI's extracellular amplifiers, was the perfect system for recording field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) within multiple CA1 hippocampal slices.
