The investigation of predictors and facilitators of stroke recovery constitutes one of the new frontiers in clinical neuroscience, firmly placing stroke recovery and brain repair within the continuum of care for stroke patients. It is for this reason that the NIH has made stroke recovery one of the three pillars of the StrokeNet grant program. 1 In a study published in the most recent issue of Annals of Neurology, 2 Minnerup and colleagues used histological assessments, MRI as well as motor testing to examine motor recovery and its structural correlates in a novel rat model of brainstem stroke. Remarkable findings were the postlesional activation of a newly described neurogenic site in the dorsal brainstem and the structural reorganization of the cortico-rubro-spinal system with its rubral relay station (possibly allowing crossed and uncrossed connections with the descending spinal system). Their findings are supported by previous studies showing evidence of neurogenesis in the floor of the IVth ventricle in rats3 and structural changes/remodeling of the red nucleus and its anatomical vicinity after lesion to the descending motor system. 4, 5 Both of their main findings deserve discussion to provide further perspective with regard to human stroke.First, the last two decades of research have demonstrated that new neurons are produced in the adult brain and that their production is facilitated after damage to the brain. 6 Neurogenesis has reliably been proven to subsist in two germinal niches of the mammalian brain across species: in the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle and in the subgranular layer of the dentate gyrus. 7 Studies with animal models of focal cortical ischemia have repetitively demonstrated an increased proliferation and neurogenic differentiation in the subventricular zone to generate neuroblasts which migrate to peri-infarct cortex where they mature into neurons. Neurogenesis in the dorsal brainstem has never been as convincingly shown as in the study by Minnerup and colleagues and falls in the midst of a renewed discussion about whether or not adult neurogenesis occurs in the human hippocampus, which has been sparked by two recent studies with contrary results. 9, 10 However, the classic neurogenic niches are not activated by brainstem lesion and the novelty of the current study
