Abstract: This study investigates the differentiation and electrophysiological properties of neonatal rat hippocampal CA1 neurons cultured in vitro. Primary hippocampal neurons were extracted from 1-2 day old postnatalrats and cultured for a period of up to 13 days. Electrophysiological recordings were conducted using the patchclamp technique on days 4 to 11, and 13 in vitro (DIV). Key parameters measured included resting membranepotential, input resistance, and cell capacitance.Notably, the input resistance started to decrease significantly after 6 DIV, whereas the resting membranepotential and cell capacitance remained relatively constant over time. These findings suggest that these neuronsundergo differentiation without a concomitant increase in size and provide valuable insights into the electrophysiological behavior and differentiation patterns of neonatal rat hippocampal neurons in a controlled environment.This research contributes to the broader understanding of neuronal development and has potential implications for neurological studies.
