Dopaminergic Neuron Transplantation in the Weaver Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

Marks the culmination of research on the transplantation of dopaminergic neurons in the striatum of the weaver mouse, a neurological mutant characterized by genetically-determined degeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons. This book reviews structural and functional aspects of intrastriatal mesencephalic neuron grafting into the weaver model.
