Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a common cause of brain damage and subsequent behavioral deficits in premature/term infants. Rapid auditory processing deficits have been suggested to play a role in later language impairments in this population. We have previously shown auditory deficits in rats with neonatal HI injury and now report novel effects of behavioral sparing and neuroprotection following treatment with a low dose of Erythropoietin using this HI injury model.
