Abstract
Recent research in our laboratory has focused on the influence of brain grafts on the recovery of learning ability in cortical-lesioned animals. The findings suggest that graft maturation and/or cholinergic activity may play a role in the graft-mediated behavioral recovery following brain lesions.
