Neurons are the dynamic, anatomically, functionally, and trophically vital units of the brain, responsible for electrochemically transmitting information across the nervous system. While all neurons share common morphological features, their regional specialization is what truly drives brain function.
CD-1 IGS mice are outbred mice derived from a group of outbred Swiss mice developed at the Anti-Cancer Center in Lausanne, Switzerland. They were imported to the US in 1926 and to Charles River in 1959. The CD-1 IGS mice are generally used for genetics, toxicology, pharmacology, and aging research.
