Book Description:
An understanding of mechanisms underlying seizure disorders depends critically on the insights provided by model systems. In particular with the development of cellular, molecular, & genetic investigative tools, there has been an explosion of basic epilepsy research. Models of Seizures & Epilepsy brings together, for the first time in 30 years, an overview of the most widely-used models of seizures & epilepsy. Chapters cover a broad range of experimental approaches (from in vitro into whole animal preparations), a variety of epileptiform phenomenology (including burst discharges & seizures), & suggestions for model characterization & validation, such as electrographic, morphologic, pharmacologic, & behavioral features. Experts in the field provide never only technical reviews of these models but also conceptual critiques – commenting on the strengths & limitations of these models, their relationship into clinical phenomenology, & their value in developing a better understanding & treatments. Models of Seizures & Epilepsy is a valuable, practical reference for investigators who are searching for the most appropriate laboratory models for addressing vital questions in the field. It also offers an important background for physicians, fellows, & students, offering insight into the potential for advances in epilepsy research.
