Axonal guidance is a very important process during brain development, allowing to give it its structure and organization. The neuroscience scientific community has a growing interest in it during the last years. Several tools belonging to the field of microtechnologies, microfluidics and micropatterning are of important help to study axonal guidance in vitro. They allow to confine neurons and their axons and to apply gradients of guidance molecules. During this thesis, my goal was to develop a system to study the effect of guidance molecules gradients on axonal guidance. For that, I tested several configurations of microfluidic devices, micropatterns and combinations of both.First, we used two approaches to isolate dissociated neurons axons...
