Mice aged P0–P3 were euthanized by decapitation, and brains were dissected into PBS on ice. Brains of 6–8 mice were pooled, centrifuged at 500 × g for 10 min at 4 °C and resuspended in 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37 °C for 10 min. DNase I (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added at 1 mg/ml to the solution, and the brains were digested for 10 more minutes at 37 °C. Trypsin was neutralized by adding DMEM + GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and cells were passed through a 70 µm cell strainer. Cells were centrifuged at 500 × g for 10 min at 4 C, resuspended in DMEM + GlutaMAX with 10% FBS 1% penicillin/streptomycin and cultured in T-75 flasks (Sarstedt), pre-coated with 2 µg/ml Poly-L Lysine (PLL, Provitro) at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 for 5–7 days until confluence was reached. Mixed glial cells were shaken for 30 min at 180 rpm, the supernatant was collected and the medium was changed, and
