Publisher's Synopsis
The development of the clinical application of cell transplantation to the central nervous system is currently in a very dynamic phase. Nevertheless, it needs to be emphasized that neural grafting still constitutes an experimental approach and not a therapy. It is highly important to maintain a close contact and interaction between clinical and animal experimental research.;Unfortunately, there is a risk that the clinical trials do not have a solid experimental base and that they are performed in a manner that does not permit a stringent scientific evaluation of the results.;This book, as was the aim of the symposium on which it is based, creates a dialogue between representatives of basic neuroscience and clinical research in order to promote the further development of intracerebral transplantation into a therapy in movement disorders.
