## Abstract Recently it has become possible by chemical selection using sorbitol instead of glucose in the culture medium to produce pure astroglial cultures from astroglia‐rich primary cultures from mouse brain. The glycogen‐degrading enzyme glycogen phosphorylase in brain is localized in astrocyt
The regional ability of central neurons and glial cells to produce nerve growth factor (NGF) was studied in vitro. NGF secretion was compared in cultures of perinatal astrocytes or embryonic neurons that were derived from various mouse brain structures. No regional differences were detected among cu
