Abstract:
An object is to provide a neuron cultivation device which promptly develops bundles of axons extending from neurons in vitro. A device for cultivating neuron with axon, the device comprising a cultivation plate and a plurality of modules arranged in the cultivation plate. Each of the modules includes at least one of first chambers receivable of cell bodies of neurons at least one of second chambers, and at least one of channels receivable of a bundle of axon extended from the cell bodies. The channels connect the first chambers and the second chambers. Bottom ends of the first chambers, the second chambers and the channels are dosed and top ends of the first chambers and the second chambers are open.

Claim (Index 5):
A method for cultivating an aggregated neuron body consisting of a plurality of neurons with cell bodies and axons, the aggregated neuron body including a spheroid and a bundle of axons extended from the spheroid in one direction, the method comprising steps of:\n applying cultivation fluid in a first chamber ( 12 a ), a second chamber ( 12 b ), and a channel ( 13 ) of 100-150 [\u03bcm] in width, 100-200 [\u03bcm] in height and 1 [mm] or more in length and connecting the first chamber ( 12 a ) and the second chamber ( 12 b ), the first chamber ( 12 a ), the second chamber ( 12 b ) and the channel ( 13 ) included in at least one of modules ( 11 ) arranged in a cultivation plate ( 10 ); inoculating one spheroid in the first chamber ( 12 a ); and cultivating the neurons, so that the bundle of axons grows and extends from the spheroid in the channel ( 13 ).
