Fetal cortical transplants ameliorate thalamic atrophy ipsilateral to neonatal frontal cortex lesions.
Thalamic atrophy develops ipsilateral to neonatal frontal cortex lesions. Fetal cortex transplants placed in these lesions at birth ameliorate the thalamic atrophy. This could be due to trophic effects of the transplants on the neonatal host thalamus, host cortex, or both.
