Abstract

A device includes a first unit for skeletal muscle tissue formation; a second unit for motor neuron culture; a third unit for causing the first and second units to communicate with each other; and a pillar serving as a scaffold for skeletal muscle tissue formation. The first unit includes a first base material and a first culture tank formed in the first base material. The second unit includes a second base material and a second culture tank formed in the second base material. The third unit includes a third base material and an axon channel formed in the third base material, through which a bundle of axons passes. One end of the third unit is connectable to the second unit and cause the axon channel and the second culture tank to communicate with each other. A first opening part is formed to the other end of the third unit.
