Abstract

A new approach for cultivating dissociated cerebral neurons is described. It is based on a rapid attachment of neurons to the DEAE‐cellulose cylindrical MC and their subsequent interconnection to form cell‐MC conglomerates. Intensive fiber growth followed by synaptogenesis and progressive myelin formation are indicative of optimal conditions of nutrition and oxygenation.
