Central thalamic deep-brain stimulation in the severely injured brain: rationale and proposed mechanisms of action.

abstract：:These studies demonstrate that photochemotherapy can be successfully evaluated in animal models. The therapy mediates specific suppression of immune responses and appears to operate at the level of the effector T cells. Future studies will focus on isolation and characterization of the host response to photochemothera...
