Micromachined Sensors and Their Applications in the Study of Mechanical Response of Single Living Cells
… of Drosophila axons is linear, and there is a rest tension in the axons and they maintain this rest tension; Tension in the axons is required for normal synaptic function, and muscle twitches may be involved in tuning this tension.

Mechanics of axonal force generation in embryonic Drosophila neurons in vivo
… centimeters) can be induced by mechanical tension, and these axons retain their electrophysiological functions. More interestingly, recent experiments have provided new evidence of the role of mechanical forces in the functioning of neurons in vivo. These experiments have revealed that …
