[The first transplantation of embryonic nerve tissue into the brain in schizophrenia].
Transplantation of embryonic nervous tissue into the septal area of the brain in a 21-year-old female patient with schizophrenia revealed the therapeutic effect and favourable effect on memory. However, the favourable effect lasted only 6 months. Among different questions such as whether the transplant was not exhausted, or was rejected, there is the uncertainty whether we did not damage it by repeated CT examinations. We proved, however, that transplantation of embryonic nervous tissue into the brain of the recipient does not involve the danger of uncontrolled growth of the transplanted tissue. Therefore retransplantation, possibly into a different part of the brain, can be considered.
