Will brain tissue grafts become an important therapy to restore visual function in cerebrally blind patients?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (1):74-74 (1995)
Abstract
Grafting embryonic brain tissue into the brain of patients with visual field loss due to cerebral lesions may become a method to restore visual function. This method is not without risk, however, and will only be considered in cases of complete blindness after bilateral occipital lesions, when other, risk-free neuropsychological methods failMy notes
