Quantitative analysis of dendrites from transplanted neostriatal neurons.
Dendritic spine density was determined quantitatively in 35-day-old neostriatal transplants and age-matched control tissue. Transplanted spiny I neurons showed significant decreases in spine density and in number of proximal dendrites. These differences may be due to aberrant maturation of transplanted neurons.
