    The spinal cord as an alternative model for nerve tissue graft
    with M. Giménez Y. Ribotta
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (1): 65-66. 1995.
    The spinal cord provides an alternative model for nerve tissue grafting experiments. Anatomo-functional correlations are easier to make here than in any other region of the CNS because of a direct implication of spinal cord neurons in sensorimotor activities. Lesions can be easily performed to isolate spinal cord neurons from descending inputs. The anatomy of descending monoaminergic systems is well defined and these systems offer a favourable paradigm for lesion-graft experiments
