Animal models of the epilepsies.

R S Fisher

Brain research. Brain research reviews, 14(3), 245-278 (1989-07-01)

The study of mechanisms of the epilepsies requires employment of animal models. Choice of a model system depends upon several factors, including the question to be studied, the type of epilepsy to be modelled, familiarity and convenience. Over 50 models
