Abstract

There is considerable interest in the derivation of neuronal cells from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Cells produced in this way have potential uses in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, drug discovery studies, or for basic research in neuroscience. Here, we describe protocols for the directed differentiation of forebrain GABAergic and midbrain dopaminergic neurons, using murine and human PSCs.
