The present volume is intended to be a synopsis of seizure disorders
with a goal of describing key studies in animals and humans. The
translation of pertinent findings from animal studies to human studies,
and to potential human studies will be emphasized. Specific cogent
animal studies/results which deserve exploration in human seizure
disorders will be detailed. The current rate of translation is estimated
to be from 7‐9 years, and the "success" rate of translation was very
recently listed as less than one half. The success rate is defined as
results in human studies which were predicted in advance by animal
studies. Both the time between animal and human attempts plus the
success rate need improvement.
