An arbitrary starting point.

An article in the most recent Nature Neuroscience[June 2000, 3(6)], Cell Replacement Therapies for Central Nervous System Disorders Anders Bj”rklund & Olle Lindvall, pp 537 - 544.

(http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/neuro/journal/v3/n6/full/nn0600_537.html&filetype=pdf but may require fee-based registration)

This is a updated assessment of CNS transplant therapy for Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, seizure suppression in epilepsy, post-cerebral ischemia treatment, and more. The authors have been on top of this field for more than a decade: they provide an academic, relatively objective analysis of this approach to treating these brain disorders.

How do we go about comparing progress made in neural transplantation versus developments in gene therapy, pharmacology, etc.?
