About this Research Topic
Worldwide, about 65 million people are affected by epilepsy, but epilepsy is also a frequent complaint in many animal species. The population prevalence of epilepsy in dogs is the same as in humans, and epilepsy is the most common chronic neurologic disease in dogs and cats with parallels to humans in many aspects. The life-long occurrence of epileptic seizures creates a large emotional and financial burden for caretakers and drives research efforts for a better understanding of the disease, and for better and more effective therapy.
We are seeking publications that explore the various aspects of epilepsy in animals. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:
- Clinical manifestations
- Behavioral comorbidities
- Novel treatment approaches
- Electroencephalography
- Neuroimaging
- Pathophysiology and genetics
This research topic asks for novel and original contributions on all aspects of epilepsy in veterinary patients. Contributions of Original Research articles are encouraged. Reviews, Opinion articles and Case Reports may also be submitted.
