The Rabbit as a Model of Cerebral Palsy

Rabbits, like humans, are perinatal brain developers. We have developed a model of fetal hypoxia-ischemia that results in postnatal rabbit kits with a phenotype analogous to that observed in humans with cerebral palsy. This chapter gives a practical approach to performing the model and shows the range methods available for study using the model.
