1. A method for making dopaminergic neuronal cells from human embryonic stem (hES) cells, comprising:

  • a) differentiating hES cells into a neural progenitor cell population in which at least 60% of the cells are Nestin positive;

    b) culturing the Nestin positive progenitor cells in a culture medium comprising a neurotrophin, and either cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) or a compound that elevates intracellular cAMP levels; and

    c) harvesting a cell population from the culture medium that comprises neuronal cells expressing tyrosine hydroxylase.
