Abstract

Animal models have become indispensable in the search for novel strategies and therapeutics for effective therapies for neonatal encephalopathy (NE). Over the last 3 decades, the translation of ideas and questions from bedside to bench moved therapeutic hypothermia into the clinic as the first safe and effective therapy for NE. We are now at the stage where animal models are needed to move therapies further forward. We review some of the main animal models in use and discuss advantages and disadvantages of each model, giving a detailed example of a protocol used in a piglet model of NE.
