Neural Transplantation

Although there are many scientific and philosphical reasons to study the brain, for William J. Freed, the most compelling reason to study the brain is to be able to repair the brains of individuals with nervous systems injury or disease. Advances in repairing the nervous system, as well as new data on brain development, growth and plasticity, have revolutionized the field of brain research and given rise to the technology of brain tissue transplantation. In this book Freed discussses what may and what may not be possible.
