Review written for clinicians and mammalian researchers about non-mammalian models of epilepsy

Cunliffe VT, Baines RA, Giachello CN, Lin WH, Morgan A, Reuber M, Russell C, Walker MC, Williams RS. Epilepsy research methods update: Understanding the causes of epileptic seizures and identifying new treatments using non-mammalian model organisms. Seizure. 2014 Oct 13. PMID: 25457452.

From the abstract:  "This narrative review is intended to introduce clinicians treating epilepsy and researchers familiar with mammalian models of epilepsy to experimentally tractable, non-mammalian research models used in epilepsy research, ranging from unicellular eukaryotes to more complex multicellular organisms. The review focuses on four model organisms: the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and the zebrafish Danio rerio. ..."
