Abstract
Autografts of Pacinian bodies from the cat''s mesentery were introduced into the brain and into skeletal muscle. The grafts survived and retained their elaborate structure without re-innervation for more than 400 days. It was concluded that trophic influence of nerve fibers is not essential to the survival of the non-nervous constituents of end organs and that no special attraction is exerted by denervated end organs on regenerating nerve fibers. The brain tissue does not attempt re-inner-vation of implanted sensory end organs.Keywords
