Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The subventricular zone in the adult brain is identified as an endogenous resource of neuronal precursors that can be recruited to adjacent lesioned areas. The hypothesis was tested that postischemic environmental enrichment might enhance subventricular zone cell genesis. METHODS: A cortical infarct was induced in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats by ligating the middle cerebral artery...
