TL;DR: The steps involved in the grafting of mesencephalic and septal embryonic tissue in the form of dissociated cell suspensions are described in detail and technical problems and limitations are discussed.

TL;DR: In agreement with the biochemical data the fluorescence histochemistry shows that the spinal dopamine innervation is mainly confined to the dorsal horn, the intermediolateral cell column and associated parts of the intermediate and central gray, and suggests that the diencephalic A11 cell group is the principal, and perhaps exclusive, source of this innervation.

TL;DR: The use of dissociated brain tissue preparations permits reliable intraparenchymal grafting of neurones to plausibly any desired site within the central nervous system, and should open entirely new possibilities for investigation of neuronal growth dynamics and functional reconstruction of damaged brain circuits, perhaps even in brains of larger mammals.

TL;DR: Shunting of CSF through a lumbar drain after an SAH markedly reduces the risk of clinically evident vasospasm and its sequelae, shortens hospital stay, and improves outcome.

TL;DR: The results indicate that nigral suspension grafts can be at least as effective as solid grafts in reversing the functional deficits induced by dopamine denervation, provided that placements are selected within appropriate dopamine terminal regions of the forebrain (e.g. caudate-putamen or nucleus accumbens).
