Abstract:Transplantation of foetal SCN tissue into the brain of arrhythmic SCN-lesioned rats and hamsters has shown to be effective in restoring circadian rhythms. Transplantation of the SCN into normal untreated rats has not been described so far as function is concerned. In rats certain demands have to be met for successful grafting of the SCN.
