Abstract
The filled-centre SNRs (plerions) are the only observed connection between supernovae and pulsars, and are a key element in any unified picture of the end products of stellar evolution. Here we review the main features of the currently accepted plerion model, including some recent variants. The model allows a quantitative study of some individual objects, and of the statistical properties of the class.
