STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND FUNCTIONALITY OF INTRACEREBRAL GRAFTS

The concept of structure, operation, and functionality, as they may be understood by clinicians or researchers using neural transplantation techniques, are briefly defined. Following Stein & Glasier, we emphasi ze that the question of whether an intracerebral graft is really funct ional should be addressed not only in terms of what such a graft does in a given brain structure, but also in terms of what it does at the l evel of the organism.
