The Stroke Progress Review Group, commissioned by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to review the status of stroke research in 2011, addressed a variety of clinical and preclinical areas, including progress and unmet needs in preclinical investigation.1 Identified among the latter were the need to develop better molecular, cellular, and animal models of stroke. This finding reflects understandable disappointment that, although such models have been available for >50 years,2 few advances in the treatment of acute stroke have occurred. Numerous authors have addressed possible explanations for this paradox and recommended new approaches,3–6 and the Stroke Progress Review Group produced no new conceptual breakthroughs in this respect. However, there may be value in reflecting again on some of the …
