Does the endogenous neurogenic response alter behavioral recovery following stroke?
Summary of "Does the endogenous neurogenic response alter behavioral recovery following stroke?"
In response to stroke, the adult brain has the remarkable ability to enhance the proliferation of new cells, which form new neurons in restricted regions. This review focuses on studies that have directly tested the hypothesis that neurogenesis contributes to post-stroke behavioral recovery. The translational potential of this area of research is critically assessed with respect to the selection of appropriate stroke models, subjects, neurogenic regions examined, behavioral tests used, and experimental timecourse. Building upon those studies that suggest an association between endogeneous neurogenesis and improved stroke recovery, we are nonetheless left with the challenge to demonstrate a causal link between neurogenesis and behavioral recovery using new technology.

Satiety Response
Behavioral response associated with the achieving of gratification.
Behavioral Research
Research that involves the application of the behavioral and social sciences to the study of the actions or reactions of persons or animals in response to external or internal stimuli. (from American Heritage Dictionary, 4th ed)
Inhibition (psychology)
The interference with or prevention of a behavioral or verbal response even though the stimulus for that response is present; in psychoanalysis the unconscious restraining of an instinctual process.

FGF-2 induces behavioral recovery after early adolescent injury to the motor cortex of rats.
Motor cortex injuries in adulthood lead to poor performance in behavioral tasks sensitive to limb movements in the rat. We have shown previously that motor cortex injury on day 10 or day 55 allow sign...

Psychological Influences on Postoperative Recovery
The primary hypothesis tested in this project is that the preoperative behavioral stress response predicts postoperative behavioral and clinical recovery of children undergoing surgery.
