Platt serving on international task force

Simon R. Platt, a professor of neurology and neurosurgery at the College of Veterinary Medicine, is one of four neuroscientists from the U.S. serving on a 26-member International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force.

The independent organization, founded in 2014, includes veterinary practitioners, neuropharmacologists, neuropathologists and clinical neurologists. The task force has produced seven consensus statements, which were recently published in BMC Veterinary Research (Vol. 11, 2015, http://tinyurl.com/pubme9q).
