Abstract

Glass substrates were modified with organic thin films to guide the outgrwoth of cultured neurons dissociated from the central nervous system. Embryonic hippocampal neurons, grown on these modified substrates, developed a morphology by following the surface geometries and they formed contacts with each other. We are now investigating technical procedures for forming physiological synapses using goldfish retinal neurons in culture.
