- 00:59Microdissection of the Choroid Plexus Out of the Lateral and Fourth Ventricle
- 03:47Morphological Analysis of Choroid Plexus Tissue Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
- 04:48Results: Isolation of Choroid Plexus and Analysis of Cellular Structure
- 05:49Conclusion
The choroid plexus (CP), an understudied tissue in neuroscience, plays a key role in health and disease of the central nervous system. This protocol describes a microdissection technique for isolating the CP and the use of scanning electron microscopy to obtain an overall view of its cellular structure.
