Abstract
► Increased CNTF in the SVZ mediates stroke-induced SVZ neurogenesis. ► CNTF may act indirectly through FGF2 to increase progenitor (C cell) proliferation. ► Inflammatory cytokines, like TNFα, seem to counteract pro-neurogenic CNTF effects. ► In mice, stroke-induced proliferation develops slowly under very specific conditions. ► Nervous system-selective expression of CNTF might make it a good indirect drug target.
