A spotlight on a pioneering study from the University of Guelph introduces us to the forefront of epilepsy research. The study examines the use of questionnaires, electroencephalography (EEG), and actigraphy in studying canine epilepsy and behavior. While questionnaires capture subjective observations from caregivers, EEG provides objective data on brain activity, and actigraphy offers insights into movement and behavior patterns. Together, these tools present a promising integrated approach that could revolutionize our understanding and management of canine epilepsy by blending caregiver insights with objective data.
