Long-term growth in vitro of isolated, fully differentiated neurones from the central nervous system of an adult insect
A method is described for the isolation and growth in vitro of fully differentiated neurones from the thoracic ganglia of adult cockroaches. The presence of insect blood in the culture system is shown to promote growth. The morphology of the growing neurones and the plasticity of the branching proce...
