Plain-English summary
This study looked at dogs with epilepsy, which is a condition that causes seizures. It found that seizures in some dogs can happen in patterns that follow a daily schedule or occur in groups over several days. Researchers used special devices that monitor brain activity over time to track these seizure patterns. Understanding these cycles can help veterinarians better manage and treat epilepsy in dogs. The findings suggest that monitoring seizure patterns can be beneficial for treatment planning.
Abstract
Summary: Canine epilepsy can follow circadian and multiday seizure cycles, and seizure clusters can be characterised over months-long time scales with ambulatory iEEG devices.
