If you have MATLAB 2016a or later you can use the Ruler properties:

plot(1:1000);
ax = gca;
ax.YMinorTick = 'on';
ax.YAxis.MinorTickValuesMode = 'manual'; % prevents MATLAB form update it
tick_gap = ax.YAxis.TickValues(2)-ax.YAxis.TickValues(1);
minor_tick_no = 5;
minor_gap = tick_gap/minor_tick_no;
ax.YAxis.MinorTickValues = ax.YAxis.TickValues(1)+minor_gap:...
    minor_gap:ax.YAxis.TickValues(end);

minor_tick

And the same for the ax.XAxis property.

For more recent versions of MATLAB you simply grab the axes and change the YMinorTick property to 'on':

plot(1:1000);
ax = gca;
ax.YMinorTick = 'on';

For older versions, you have to grab the axes using the set function:

plot(1:1000);
set(gca, 'YMinorTick', 'on');

We get:
