.... Quantitative analysis at the ultrastructural level has been carried out. The main results are as follows. (1) The number of preterminals that formed synaptic contacts with spines of the host Purkinje dendrites in the transplanted material increased by 3.4-fold compared to the control (3-AP-treated non-grafted...

... having ceased in all but a few brain centres, sensory neurones continue to be generated from their epidermal precursors throughout the postembryonic life of the animal. Therefore transplanting pieces of epidermis during postembryonic development places sensory neurones in altered environments without...
