Abstract

In the studies of neural transplantation,Chen and his colleagues observed tha the grafted central neurons could migrate from the subarachnoid space into the spinal cord and cerebral cortex.This finding promises an attractive possibility that a lot of neurons might be introdced into a long distance of the spinal cord and the extensive superficial layer of the brain which has suffered neuronal loss and thus might reinnervate a wide range of denervated area.Female rats were used in the study.Neural tissues or cell suspension containing fetal monoaminergic or arginine vasopressin(AVP)neurons were implanted into the subarachnoid space of the transected spinal cord or the normal brain and spinal cold.The rats were treated in different ways:some were grafted and the spinal cord was cut at the same time;grafted one month later or before the spinal cord was cut;grafted but the brain and spinal cord remained intact.
