Neurons dissociated from septal area of fetal (E18-19) rat brain were grown 14-days in culture. Cholinergic neurons were identified by cytochemical demonstration of acetyl cholinesterase. It was shown that the nerve growth factor added to the culture medium (50 u/ml) has increased the size of cell body of AchE-positive neurons, mean total length and arborization of dendrites and also the dendritic tree area.
