An object is to provide a neuron cultivation device which promptly develops bundles of axons extending from neurons in vitro. A device for cultivating neuron with axon, the device comprising a cultivation plate and a plurality of modules arranged in the cultivation plate. Each of the modules includes at least one of first chambers receivable of cell bodies of neurons at least one of second chambers, and at least one of channels receivable of a bundle of axon extended from the cell bodies. The channels connect the first chambers and the second chambers. Bottom ends of the first chambers, the second chambers and the channels are closed and top ends of the first chambers and the second chambers are open.
