Journal ArticleDOI
Dentate Gyrus Neurogenesis after Cerebral Ischemia and Behavioral Training
TL;DR: The results suggest that the adult brain has an inherent regenerative capacity after insult and that behavioral training following injury does not have an additive effect on neurogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behaviorally induced synaptogenesis and dendritic growth in the hippocampal region following transient global cerebral ischemia are accompanied by improvement in spatial learning.
TL;DR: The results showed that ischemic injury and EC housing were able to independently influence synaptogenesis and dendritic growth in the hippocampal area adjacent to the site of injury, and that EC housing-induced synaptic anddendritic changes were accompanied by enhanced functional recovery after transient global cerebral ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in number of synapses and mitochondria in presynaptic terminals in the dentate gyrus following cerebral ischemia and rehabilitation training.

TL;DR: Data suggest a link between behavioral training and synaptic plasticity in the region adjacent to the injury and that the likely metabolic correlate of this synaptic Plasticity is increased number of mitochondria at synaptic axon terminals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrocytic changes in the hippocampus and functional recovery after cerebral ischemia are facilitated by rehabilitation training.
TL;DR: Regression analysis showed that increased GFAP was able to explain some of the variances in the behavioral parameters in the water maze of the ischemia EC rats suggesting that the activation of astrocytes in this group probably mediated enhanced functional recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environment, Physical Activity, and Neurogenesis: Implications for Prevention and Treatment of Alzhemiers Disease
TL;DR: The beneficial effects of both exercise and multi-sensory environmental stimulation have been well-documented, thus it is possible that these strategies can either provide neuroprotection or increase resistance to the development of age-related cognitive problems.
