Despite growing interest in both the clinical and scientific aspects of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), knowledge about the disease mechanisms remains limited. The epileptic baboon—the first natural nonhuman primate model of SUDEP—offers a potential model to evaluate the genetic factors and pathophysiology underlying this mysterious condition.
