Popis: Summary: High-throughput imaging allows in vitro assessment of neuron morphology for screening populations under developmental, homeostatic, and/or disease conditions. Here, we present a protocol to differentiate cryopreserved human cortical neuronal progenitors into mature cortical neurons for high-throughput imaging analysis. We describe the use of a notch signaling inhibitor to generate homogeneous neuronal populations at densities amenable to individual neurite identification. We detail neurite morphology assessment via measuring multiple parameters including neurite length, branches, roots, segments and extremities, and neuron maturation. : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
