supporting neurite regeneration might be relevant in understanding the factors that affect the use of potentially therapeutic procedures such as neural grafting.

For example, the relative amount of gray and white matter in the region of a neural transplant may influence the amount or topography of innervation obtained. These results also encourage the hope that neuronal plasticity within gray matter of the mature human brain and spinal cord can be manipulated to combat the disabling effects of CNS injury and disease.
