ABSTRACT
Dendrite morphology and dendritic spines are key features of the neuronal networks in the brain. Abnormalities in these features have been observed in patients with psychiatric disorders and mouse models of these diseases. In utero electroporation is an easy and efficient gene transfer system for developing mouse embryos in the uterus. By combining with the Cre-loxP system, the morphology of individual neurons can be clearly and sparsely visualized. Here, we describe how this labeling system can be applied to visualize and evaluate the dendrites and dendritic spines of cortical neurons.
