title: [Axons, dendrites and adhesion].
abstract: The morphology of rat embryonic day 14 (E14) mesencephalic neurons has been studied in vitro under different conditions of neuron-substratum adhesion. Results suggest that decreasing adhesion favors axonal elongation and inhibits the growth of dendrites. This observation is interpreted according to a hypothetical model based on the existence of different physical properties between the two categories of neurites.
