Prior studies have suggested that after stroke there is a time-limited period of increased responsiveness to training due to heightened plasticity; a sensitive period thought to be induced by ischemia itself. Using a mouse model we have previously shown that most training-associated recovery after a caudal forelimb area (CFA) stroke occurs in the first week and is attributable to reorganization in a medial premotor area (AGm). The existence of a stroke-induced sensitive period leads to the counterintuitive prediction that a second stroke should reopen this window and and promote full recovery from the first stroke. To test this prediction, we induced a second stroke in AGm of mice with incomplete recovery after a first stroke in CFA. Mice were trained to perform a skilled prehension (reach-to-grasp) task to an asymptotic level of performance after which they underwent photocoagulation-induced stroke in CFA. After a 7 day post-stroke delay, the mice were then retrained to asymptote. We then induced a second stroke in AGm and after only a one day delay retrained the mice. Recovery of prehension was incomplete when training was started after a 7-day post-stroke delay and continued for 19 days. However, a second focal stroke in AGm led to a dramatic response to 9 days of training with full recovery to normal levels of performance. New ischemia can re-open a sensitive period of heightened responsiveness to training and mediate full recovery from a previous stroke.
