Abstract

The work of Sinden et al. suggests that it may be possible to produce improvement in the “highest” areas of brain function by transplanting brain tissue. What appears to be the limiting factor is not the complexity of the mental process under consideration but the discreteness of the lesion which causes the impairment and the appropriateness and accuracy of placement of the grafted tissue.
