Abstract
We concur that basic research on the use of CNS grafts is needed. Two important model systems for functional studies of grafts are ignored b y Stein & Glasier. In the first, reproductive function is restored in hypogonadal mice by transplantation of GnRH-synthesizing neurons. In t he second, circadian rhythmicity is restored by transplantation of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
