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

This book is the culmination of fifteen years of research on the transplantation of dopaminergic neurons in the striatum of the weaver mouse (wv/wv), a neurological mutant characterized by genetically-determined degeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons. This mutant constitutes the only available la...
