    For nearly 100 years neural tissue has been transplanted in animals. Transplantation of neural tissue into humans, however, began only a few years ago (1). It has been found in animals, that fetal brain grafts in damaged adult host brains reduce some of the functional deficits caused by brain lesions. Even though some neurons from the transplanted tissue survive and develop reciprocal connections with host brain tissue, this is not enough to completely replace damaged fibers and support behavioral

    Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease which is progressive, incurable and debilitating. The disease is caused by a loss of dopamine producing neurons in the brainstem which leads primarily to motor deficits. In Australia, 1 in 350 people live with PD and the prevalence is quickly growing (Parkinson 's Queensland, 2014). While most of the people diagnosed with PD are over 65 years old, people as young as 30 can develop the condition (Parkinson 's Queensland, 2014). Currently, there

    Understanding Huntington's Disease Diagnosis of Huntington's Disease Today, a blood test is available to diagnose a person displaying suspected Huntington's symptoms. The test analyzes DNA in the blood sample and counts the number of times the genetic code for the mutated Huntington's gene is repeated. Individuals with Huntington's Disease usually have 40 or more such "repeats;" those without it, 28 or fewer. If the number of repeats falls somewhere in between then more extensive neurological

    movement disorder affecting approximately one million Americans (www.pdf.org) and is the 14th leading cause of death in the US (www.cdc.gov). The pathogenesis of PD involves the degeneration of neurons, especially dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain [1], and the presence of Lewy bodies/neuritis in various brain regions [2]. Deficiency of the nigro-striatal pathways can cause dopamine depletion-specific symptoms such as motor dysfunctions and multiple non-motor clinical issues
