tissue-specific stem cells divide to generate different cell types for the purpose oftissue repair in the adult. the aim of this study was to detect the significance ofneurogenesis in the central nervous system in patients with cerebral palsy (cp). materials & methods a search was made in medline, cinahl, pubmed, isi web of science andgoogle scholar from 1995 to february 2011. the outcomes measured in thereview were classified to origins, proliferation, and migration of new neurons,and neurogenesis in cp. results according to the review of articles, neurogenesis persists in specific brainregions throughout lifetime and can be enhanced from endogenous progenitorcells residing in the subventricular zone by growth factors or neurotrophicfactors and rehabilitation program. conclusion most of the studies have been conducted in the laboratory and on animals,more work is required at the basic level of stem cell biology, in the developmentof human models, and finally in well-conceived clinical trials.   references 1. buonomano dv, merzenich mm. cortical plasticity: from synapses to maps. annu rev neurosci 1998; 21:149-86. 2. haghgoo h. fundemental of neurosciences. 1st ed. tehran;
