Rodent ischemic stroke models are essential research tools for studying this highly prevalent disease and represent a critical element in the translational pipeline for development of new therapies. The majority of ischemic stroke models have been developed to study the acute phase of the disease and neuroprotective strategies, but a subset of models is better suited for studying stroke recovery. Each model therefore has characteristics that lend itself to certain types of investigations and outcome measures, and it is important to consider both explicit and implicit details when designing experiments that utilize each model. The following chapter briefly summarizes the known aspects of the main rodent stroke models with emphasis on their clinical relevance and suitability for studying recovery and neural repair following stroke.
