Summary

Restorative neurosurgery currently is the frontier of neuroscientists for the restoration of lost neuronal function especially in neurodegenerative diseases and ischemic and traumatic central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The striking developments in molecular neurobiology and bio-technology are progressively offering new opportunities for a better quality of life to patients suffering from loss of neuronal function. Besides all new and challenging medical therapeutic interventions, great emphasis is also given to transplantation for neuronal restoration as well.
