resonance spectroscopy) and CBF similar to that observed in human infants with HIE. 14 In general, injury is characterized by neuronal loss in the sensorimotor cortex and basal ganglia and postnatal seizures. The HI models in newborn pigs, 13 in parallel with fetal sheep studies, 10 have been instrumental in development of therapeutic hypothermia for term infants with HIE.In rabbits, intrauterine ischemia is induced≈ 22 days of gestation as equivalent to the preterm, and at the end of gestation (at 29 days) to mimic at-term injury. HI in preterm rabbits results in injury mainly in subcortical areas, such as basal ganglia and thalamus. 15 Importantly, the preterm rabbit HI model is one of few large animal set-ups, which has demonstrated a correlation between abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging, neuropathology, and cerebral palsy-like hypertonic motor deficits in the newborn pups. 15
