PY - 2015 DA - 2015/08/28 TI - International veterinary epilepsy task force recommendations for systematic sampling and processing of brains from epileptic dogs and cats JO - BMC Veterinary Research SP - 216 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - Traditionally, histological investigations of the epileptic brain are required to identify epileptogenic brain lesions, to evaluate the impact of seizure activity, to search for mechanisms of drug-resistance and to look for comorbidities. For many instances, however, neuropathological studies fail to add substantial data on patients with complete clinical work-up. This may be due to sparse training in epilepsy pathology and or due to lack of neuropathological guidelines for companion animals.
