Abstract

Anesthesia‐induced neurodegeneration (AIN) occurs in newborn large animal modelswhere physiological homeostasis is maintained. However, most immature rodent models of AINreport mortality ratesand hypercarbia alone, mimicking that produced by anesthesia, increases neuro‐apoptosis1.Thepotential influence of physiological derangement is one reason why rodent models of AIN are notidealfor predicting clinical effect.However, they remain necessary for theinitial pre‐clinical investigation of toxicity or treatment.
