Abstract: The session on new animal models in transplantation provided a forum for those interested in the use of transplants as a method of understanding critical issues in neuronal development, neural degeneration and localization of function.One major theme was that transplants from a donor with a given behavioral phenotype can restore function following a lesion, and carry the donor phenotype to the host brain.Behavioral restoration was only produced by grafts of specific regions and was correlated with graft survival.An additional theme was that grafts could be used to study the postnatal development of tissue from trisomy-16 mice by grafting the tissue into a normal host.These studies could not be carried out in trisomy-16 animals due to the poor postnatal survival of trisomy-16 mice.
