Abstract
It is now well established that embryonic dopamine cells can survive transplantation into the brains of adult rats and monkeys. If selective toxins (such as 6-OHDA or MPTP), are used to make selective dopamine-depleting lesions, the transplants can provide a new dopaminergic reinnervation of the lesioned striatum, and overcome some of the motor deficits induced by the lesions in the host animals (9). Based on such experimental observations, a number of neurosurgical centres have undertaken clinical trials of similar procedures in patients with Parkinson’s disease, with a clear and demonstrable clinical benefit in a number of cases (19,25).
