Neural Transplantation, CNS Neuronal Injury, and Regeneration (Hardcover, New)

This reference presents studies from leading researchers that are currently studying the effects of CNS transplants on neuronal plasticity and recovery of function after CNS injury. Topics covered include trophic influences, reinnervation patterns, and prevention of cell death that range from preclinical models of Parkinson', s disease in primates to studies of restoration of circadian rhythms in rats. Techniques of neurotransplantation are presented, including current limitations and future projections of advancement
