Efficacy of the ketogenic diet in the 6‐Hz seizure test

Purpose: Since the ketogenic diet is effective in drug‐resistant epilepsies, we sought to determine whether it is active in the 6‐Hz seizure test, which identifies agents with a broader spectrum of activity than conventional antiepileptic screening tests.
