Direct whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from small boutons in rodent primary neocortical neuron cultures

Summary: Direct electrical recordings from conventional boutons in the mammalian central nervous system have proven challenging due to their small size. Here, we provide a protocol for direct whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from small presynaptic boutons of primary dissociated cultured neurons of...
