Summary:To provide apparatus and methods for culturing neurons allowing an axon bundle extended from a neuron to grow rapidly in vitro.SOLUTION: Provided is an apparatus for culturing neuronal assembly having a spheroid and an axon bundle extending in one direction from the spheroid, comprising a culture plate, and a plurality of modules arranged in the culture plate, each module comprising a first chamber capable of receiving a cell body of a neuron, a second chamber, and a channel which is capable of receiving the axis bundle extending from the cell body and contacts the first chamber with the second chamber, the lower end of the first chamber, the second chamber, and the channel being closed, the upper end of the first chamber and the second chamber being opened, the channel having a length of 1 [mm] or more, and the neuronal assembly being cultured in the state where it can be extracted one by one in each module.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】in vitroで神経細胞から延びる軸索束を迅速に成長させる、神経細胞の培養装置、培養方法の提供。【解決手段】1つのスフェロイドと、スフェロイドから1方向に延びる1つの軸索束とを有する神経細胞の密集体を培養する装置であって、培養プレートと、培養プレート内に配置された複数のモジュールであって、各モジュールは、神経細胞の細胞体を受容可能な第1チャンバーを1つ、第2チャンバーを1つ、及び、細胞体から延びた軸索束を受容可能なチャネルであって第1チャンバーと第2チャンバーとを接続するチャネルを1つ含むモジュールと、を備え、第1チャンバー、第2チャンバー及びチャネルの下端が閉止され、第1チャンバー及び第2チャンバーの上端が開放され、チャネルは、長さ1〔mm〕以上であって、神経細胞の密集体は、各モジュール内で1つずつ抽出することができる状態で培養される。【選択図】図1
