Adult host serotonin (5-HT) neurons display a particularly good capacity to innervate intrastriatal grafts of fetal tissue from several CNS regions /1,2/. However, following intra-striatal transplantation of ventral mesencephalic tissue, the 5-HT innervation from adult host brain was found to be very sparse and almost exclusively confined to the borders of the grafts /3/. The present study investigated whether neonatal 5-HT neurons would show a better potential than adult ones for axonal growth into such grafts. Unilateral implantation of dis
