Abstract:
Neurite outgrowth in culture provides an easy way to determine the effects of a particular substrate or exogenous factor on neuron behavior. Dissociated neurons can be plated on a variety of substrates and the length of the longest neurite outgrowth can be compared. Here, we describe how to isolate and dissociate dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, culture them on coverslips, and measure longest neurite outgrowth.
