In this study, the authors use measures of carbon-14 in neuronal DNA from human stroke patient cortical tissue samples to show that, unlike previous studies done in rodents, they do not find any evidence of increased neurogenesis after an ischemic injury. In addition, DNA damage assays suggest that there is no increase in DNA rearrangement after this insult.
