A neurotransmitter specific functional recovery mediated by fetal implants in the lesioned spinal cord of the rat.
In the electrophysiologic test of the hindlimb withdrawal reflex where the long latency component is found to be dependent on noradrenaline (NA), implants of fetal NA tissue in lesioned animals result in a recovery of NA dependent function proportional to the number of catecholamine fluorescent cells in the implants.
