ALUMINUM IN RAT CEREBELLAR PRIMARY CULTURES - GLIAL-CELLS AND GABAERGIC NEURONS

EXPERIMENTAL evidence of the preferential uptake of aluminium by GABAergic neurones and glial cells was provided by synchrotron spectromicroscopy studies. We observed rat cerebellar cultures enriched for GABAergic neurones or glial cells exposed to aluminium ions, detecting the presence and identifying the chemical status of aluminium on cell structures.
