The most widespread animal model of perinatal brain injury is the neonatal rodent cerebral hypoxia–ischemia (HI) model. Ischemic brain injury is produced through unilateral common carotid artery ligation followed by moderate hypoxia. Carotid ligation alone does not induce any injury, nor does hypoxia alone, but the combination produces multifocal ischemic injury in the cortex, hippocampus, striatum, and thalamus in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the ligation, leaving the contralateral hemisphere uninjured. Blood flow is reduced in the ipsilateral hemisphere during hypoxia and returns to normal levels when normoxia is restored. Hence, this is a model of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, despite permanent unilateral carotid artery ligation. The model is well characterized, easy to carry out, and allows long-term survival. The low cost allows inclusion of sufficient numbers of animals to study physiological and molecular mechanisms of perinatal HI brain injury, as well as testing potentially protective treatments and evaluating long-term functional outcome. A disadvantage is that the extent of injury may vary between animals, but this can be compensated for by using higher numbers of animals. Originally developed for rats, it has also been applied to the neonatal mouse, enabling use of genetically modified strains. The model can be used at different developmental stages, allowing comparison of, for example, the equivalent of preterm, term, juvenile, or adult brain injury.
