Chapter 29 Grafts of fetal septal cholinergic neurons to the hippocampal formation in aged or fimbria-fornix lesioned rats
Anders Björklund,Fred H. Gage +1 more
TL;DR: The combined results show that intrahippocampal grafts of tissue rich in developing cholinergic neurons can compensate at least partly for lesion-induced or age-dependent cognitive impairments in rats, and that this effect may be due to the restoration ofCholinergic neurotransmission in the deafferented or dysfunctioning host hippocampal target.

Poverty, Inequality, and the Future of Social Policy: Western States in the New World Order.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synaptogenesis of Grafted Cholinergic Neurons
TL;DR: The aims of the studies described here were to address the question of whether cholinergic grafts exert their effects by forming new, functional synaptic connections with host neuronal elements, and the extent to which these novel contacts resemble those normally found in control animals.
Book ChapterDOI
Compensation of Lesion-Induced Changes in Cerebral Metabolism and Behaviour by Striatal Neural Implants in a Rat Model of Huntington’s Disease
TL;DR: Functional recovery after lesion-induced changes has been correlated with histological, neurochemical, physiological and metabolic parameters sometimes giving new insights into the mode of operation of certain neural circuitries or transmitter systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Skin to Brain: A Parkinson's Disease Patient Transplanted with His Own Cells.
Malin Parmar,Anders Björklund +1 more
TL;DR: A patient with Parkinson's disease who received a graft of dopamine neurons obtained from in vitro differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells, derived from the patient's own skin fibroblasts, shows the feasibility of autologous transplantation for dopamine cell replacement.
