Rehabilitation, consisting of enriched environment and skilled reach training, improves recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. We tested whether rehabilitation influences dendritic morphology (Golgi-Cox staining experiment 1) or cell proliferation (immunohistochemistry experiment 2). In the latter experiment, BrdU was given from 14 to 18 days post stroke, and cells were labeled for BrdU along with NeuN, lba1 or GFAP. One week after a striatal ICH, via collagenase infusion, the rats were given rehabilitation for 2 weeks or control treatment (group housing in standard cages). Behavioral outcome (e.g., skilled reaching, walking) was assessed at multiple times. Rats were euthanized at 5 (experiment 2) or 6 (experiment 1) weeks post-ICH. As expected, rehabilitation significantly improved skilled reaching and walking ability. There was also a concomitant increase in dendritic length in peri-hematoma striatum and ipsilateral cortex as well as in the contralateral striatum. Lesion volume did not differ between groups, nor did cell proliferation. There was no evidence of neurogenesis, but there was increased lba1 and GFAP labeling in the injured hemisphere. Thus, rehabilitation likely improves outcome after ICH though a plasticity response (e.g., increased dendritic growth) that does not involve neurogenesis. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
