Abstract

For almost a century attempts have been made to transplant neuronal tissue to the central nervous system of mammals. The conditions for attaining reliable graft survival have now been characterised and the transplantation of CNS tissue to a number of different sites within the adult nervous system can be achieved with a high degree of reliability.
