A device for the graded mechanostimulation of cultured neurons

This work presents an in vitro platform for studying the effects of physiologically relevant, axonally applied mechanical insult to neurons in culture. Design considerations are presented, and finite element studies are shown to establish proof of concept. The mold for creating the device was microf...
