Each type of cell has its own special requirements in terms of exact pH, nutrients, and growth factors. And, nerve cells require such specific requirements that there is no one sure way to culture them.
The general process is to isolate the tissue through surgery, and then use mechanical plus enzymatic disassociation of the tissue, light centrifugation, and rinsing in media to remove enzymes then initial plating. This is actually very difficult to do in practice.
Another obstacle is that primary nerve cultures (taken directly from living tissue) have a relatively short lifespan. Nerve cells are not like skin cells in that they generally lack the ability to replicate.

The nerve cells of cnidarians make up a?

How often do nerve and muscle cells divide?
Muscles cells can undergo mitosis, but almost all nerve cells will not. This is true within the body and even when isolated and put into culture.
