Abstract

Cells isolated from fetal (E17) rat cerebral cortex form aggregates in a density-dependent manner. Direct current electrical stimulation influences the formation of neuronal aggregates by promoting neuronal survival at a calculated current density of 15 nA/cm2 (with an average calculated field strength of 1 microV/cm), and inhibiting neuronal survival at calculated current densities of both 1 nA/cm2 and 150 nA/cm2. Electrical stimulation had no observable effect on neuronal aggregation independent of its effect on cell survival.
