Dr. Snead has done research in the use of MEG as a non-invasive diagnostic modality to help identify children who are candidates for epilepsy surgery.
He's an expert in animal models of epilepsy and was among the first to develop animal models of absence and atypical absence epilepsy and to characterize GABAB-mediated mechanisms of these disorders. In addition, he's developed an animal model of infantile spasms in Down syndrome and have shown the effectiveness of genetic and pharmacological rescue strategies in this model.
