Abstract
Introduction

Epilepsy is one of the neurological pathologies with the highest rate of incidence and with a significant number of negatives consequences. Current pharmacological treatments have an antiepileptic effect, allowing control over 70% of the patients, but they are not able to prevent the development of Epileptogenesis from occurring.

Method

We have reviewed the most relevant publications for experimental animal models with epilepsy by using the PubMed data base.

Results

We found a large number of publications related to different kinds of experimental models, both genetic (transgenic, genetically determined) and lesional, which appeared to resemble the different types of human epilepsy.

Conclusions

Even though many important improvements have been accomplished in the area of epilepsy in the last decades, there are still many aspects to be clarified. In this regard, experimental models might become a very useful means for a better understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and in the search for more efficient treatments.

Resumen
Introducción

La epilepsia es una de las enfermedades neurológicas más frecuentes, y además conlleva una tasa de consecuencias negativas muy importante, tanto para el paciente como para los familiares. Su manifestación clínica principal es la aparición de crisis epilépticas recurrentes, que en el 70–80% de los casos se controlan con la medicación. Sin embargo, a pesar de que van apareciendo nuevos fármacos para el control de las crisis, no disponemos todavía de fármacos que consigan evitar la epileptogénesis.

Método

Revisamos las publicaciones más relevantes de modelos animales experimentales en epilepsia utilizando para ello la base de datos de PubMed.

Resultados

Se han encontrado un amplio número de publicaciones sobre tipos de modelos experimentales tanto genéticos (transgénicos, genéticamente determinados) como lesionales (químicos o eléctricos), que intentan imitar los diferentes tipos de epilepsia en humanos.

Conclusiones

A pesar de que en las últimas décadas se han hecho importantes avances en el campo de la epilepsia, aún quedan muchos aspectos por dilucidar. En este sentido, los modelos experimentales pueden suponer una herramienta muy útil para el avance en el conocimiento de los mecanismos fisiopatológicos y en la búsqueda de tratamientos eficaces.
