Abstract
Literature on transplantation of neural and nonneural tissues into the brains of host animals is reviewed in the perspective of various issues. The two dominant issues determining this research were elucidation of embryological processes underlying the development of the nervous system and regeneration in the host brain. A comprehensive review of studies on regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS), using this technique of transplantation, indicates that regeneration of axonal fibers is small in magnitude and extent, and that it is more directly related to the trauma caused to the brain than to any other variable. This literature review attempts to provide a perspective to the contemporary research on neural transplantation and on regeneration in the CNS.
