Supp Figure 1:
The Axon Elongation Device. System consists of a custom designed axon expansion chamber, linear motion table, microstepper motor, and controller (not shown). The expansion chamber is a sealed enclosure with a removable axon stretching frame and gas exchange port. Entire system fits within a typical CO2 incubator.

Supp Figure 2:
Extreme Axon Stretch-Growth. (a) Dorsal root ganglion were plated on two adjacet membranes and 5 days was allowed for axons to grow across the interface. (b) and (c) Axons were stretched by gradually separating the two interconnected neuron populations apart.
