Methods in Neurosciences, Volume 7: Lesions and Transplantation
describes the chemical and nonchemical production of lesions and
preparation and development of transplants, implants, and grafts. This
book consists of four sections—chemical and nonchemical lesioning;
model systems utilizing lesioning; transplants, implants, and grafts;
and assessment of lesions and transplants. In these sections, this
volume discusses the excitotoxins as tools for producing brain
lesions; use of acromelic acid for production of rat spinal lesions;
and opioid and nonopioid antinociception as revealed by lesion
studies. The endothelin-1-induced lesions in the brain as a new model
of focal ischemia; fetal implants in the lesioned spinal cord of the
rat; and hippocampal transplants in oculo are also elaborated. This
book likewise covers the assessment of neurochemical function of brain
transplants and in vitro electrophysiological analysis of in oculo.
This publication is intended for neuroscientists, but is also
beneficial to researchers conducting work on lesions and transplants.
