Background: Rehabilitation improves recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) caused by collagenase infusion into the striatum of rats by promoting dendritic growth and reducing brain injury in this model.
Objective: Effective preclinical testing requires multiple models because none, including the collagenase model, perfectly mimics human ICH. Thus, the authors assessed enhanced rehabilitation (ER), a combination of environmental enrichment and task-specific motor training, on skilled reaching, lesion size, and dendritic plasticity after whole blood-induced, striatal ICH.
