Unintended changes in cognition, mood, and behavior arising from cell-based interventions for neurological conditions: ethical challenges.

29 Apr 2009 The prospect of using cell-based interventions (CBIs) to treat neurological conditions raises several important ethical and policy questions. In this target article, we focus on issues related to the unique constellation of traits that characterize ... Read more...

Priming for L-DOPA-induced abnormal involuntary movements increases the severity of amphetamine-induced dyskinesia in grafted rats.

20 Apr 2009 In some patients, graft-induced dyskinesia develops following intrastriatal transplantation of embryonic neural tissue for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The mechanisms underlying these involuntary movements need to be clarified before this ... Read more...

Transplantation of GABA-producing cells for seizure control in models of temporal lobe epilepsy.

30 Mar 2009 A high percentage of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are refractory to conventional pharmacotherapy. The progressive neurodegenerative processes associated with a lifetime of uncontrolled seizures mandate the development of alternative ... Read more...
