Rat Neonatal Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Neurons are primary sensory neurons isolated from the spinal cord tissue of neonatal rats. Originating from the neural crest, these neurons form clusters along the spinal nerve roots and are essential mediators of sensory signal transduction between peripheral receptors and the central nervous system. In culture, DRG neurons exhibit irregular morphology, grow adherently, and extend axons into dense, interconnected networks. DRG neurons express key functional markers such as voltage-gated sodium channels and neurotrophin receptors (e.g., TrkA), enabling nociceptive transmission, axon guidance, and synaptic plasticity. These primary neurons are non-proliferative, therefore cannot be passaged repeatedly and require specialized media to maintain viability.

Rat Neonatal Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Neurons are widely used in neuroscience research due to their relevance in modeling sensory function and pain mechanisms. They provide a robust platform for studying neurogenesis, unraveling the intricacies of neurotransmitter function, and investigating gene expression patterns in sensory neurons. Their electrophysiological properties make them ideal for investigating pain pathways and sensory perception. Additionally, DRG neurons are commonly employed in neurotoxicity assays and drug screening studies, helping evaluate the effects of compounds on sensory neurons. These cells are also instrumental in development of advanced in vitro models that aid in understanding peripheral neuropathies and sensory-related neurological disorders.
