| the evoked epilepsies. | epileptic activity may be strongly influenced by events occurring outside the central nervous system. at least 6% of recurrent seizures are evoked by specific afferent stimuli, and these are reviewed. the commonest environmental stimulus is light; photosensitive epilepsy occurs not only in humans but also in the baboon (papio papio). recognition and hence avoidance of factors which evoke seizures is an important part of the management of the epilepsies. | 1982 | 7079862 |
| [myoclonus induced by some benzodiazepines in the papio papio. comparison with myoclonus induced by intermittent light stimulation (author's transl)]. | papio papio may show two different kinds of myoclonus. a first type corresponds to myoclonus induced by photic stimulation (25 hz). this type is always preceded by paroxysmal discharges. another type of myoclonus may be induced, or at least facilitated, by some benzodiazepines, especially lorazepam and, to a lesser extent, diazepam. this type is neither preceded nor accompanied by paroxysmal discharges. a single injection of lorazepam (1 mg/kg i.v.) blocks the first type of myoclonus but favors ... | 1982 | 6125000 |
| cerebellar nuclear topography of simple and synergistic movements in the alert baboon (papio papio). | movements elicited by the stimulation of the cerebellar nuclei were studied in alert baboons chronically prepared. the motor responses were filmed and recorded in eight muscles through chronically implanted electrodes. two types of motor effects were observed: (1) simple movements that concerned the unidirectional displacement of a limb segment. (2) complex movements that involved distinct and frequently noncontiguous muscles were stereotyped and could not be dissociated. these movements are def ... | 1982 | 6889975 |

| the relationship between the anticonvulsant properties of sc-13504 and its plasma levels, measured by polarography, in baboons with photosensitive epilepsy. | sc-13504 was given intravenously to baboons with photosensitive epilepsy, papio papio, with and without prior administration of allylglycine. plasma levels of the drug were determined by differential pulse polarography and correlated with behavioural changes and the anticonvulsant action of the drug. protection against photically induced seizures or self-sustaining myoclonic responses was seen 30 to 120 min after sc-13504, 4-8 mg/kg (when plasma levels were 1 mug/ml or greater). eeg and neurolog ... | 1976 | 827776 |
| epilepsy and sleep organization in the baboon papio papio. | effects of different types of epileptic seizure on the sleep organization of baboon were studied through 12 h polygraphic recordings. photically induced myoclonic jerking did not modify sleep organization. photically induced genalized convulsions produced an increase of the waking stage (awa) and reduction of rem stage. pentetrazol-induced generalized convulsions not only increased awa and reduced rem, but also elicited various modifications of stages i, ii and iii. daily generalized convulsions ... | 1976 | 62652 |

| inhibition of reflex epilepsy by (+/-)-n-n-propylnorapomorphine. | in baboons, papio papio, spontaneously showing photosensitive epilepsy, myoclonic responses to intermittent photic stimulation were reduced or abolished for up to four hours by (+/-)-n-n-propylnorapomorphine (npa) 0.05-0.2 mg/kg body weight, given i.v. in animals pretreated with allyglycine, 200 mg/kg, a transient abolition of myoclonic responses followed npa, 0.2 mg/kg. in dba/2 mice, seizures following auditory stimulation were attenuated or abolished by npa 0.025-0.1 mg/kg given intraperitone ... | 1976 | 824145 |
| [modification of frontal and occipital cortical excitability provoked by trains of flashes in papio papio (author's transl)]. | the experimental conditions necessary for obtaining an evoked paroxysmal response from the frontal cortex were studied in the baboon papio papio. the trigger stimulus was comprised of an isolated flash preceded by a train of intermittent light stimulation (sli). two conditions were necessary for the appearance of paroxysmal responses: a subconvulsant dose of dl-allylglycine had to be injected at least 3 h previous to recording, and a sufficient number of sli trains had to be presented to the ani ... | 1981 | 7345487 |
| effects of drugs modifying brain levels of catecholamines on photically induced epilepsy in papio papio. | the behavioral and electrographic effects of dl-amphetamine, disulfiram, fla-63, and propranolol on the photically induced epilepsy of the senegalese baboon were evaluated. amphetamine produced somatic hypokinesia with enhancement of eye movements, diminution of spontaneous paroxysmal activity, and little change in photosensitivity. the acute effects of disulfiram and fla-63 were poor, but the latter was lethal in the days following administration. propranolol showed no consistent effects. parti ... | 1976 | 976217 |
| measurement of anticonvulsant activity in the papio papio model of epilepsy. | the status of papio papio as a model of clinical epilepsy has been reviewed. the anticonvulsant effects of single doses of various classic and experimental agents have been compared against seizures induced in the p. papio by intermittent light stimulation. long-acting but not short-acting barbiturates have been shown fully to control seizures with minor sedative effects. diphenylhydantoin (in chronic doses only) and trimethadione are often effective but not consistently so. diazepam and clonaze ... | 1976 | 821787 |
| opposite effects of lorazepam on two kinds of myoclonus in the photosensitive papio papio. | the action of lorazepam was studied in photosensitive baboons. animals were either naturally very photosensitive or rendered photosensitive by a previous injection of allylglycine. intravenous administration of varying doses, from 0.05 to 0.5 mg/kg, of lorazepam blocked the myoclonus induced by intermittent light stimulation in all the animals. however, in the naturally photosensitive baboon the injection of lorazepam favoured the appearance of spontaneous myoclonus with no important eeg modific ... | 1981 | 6172264 |

| effects of tetrahydrocannabinols on kindled amygdaloid seizures and photogenic seizures in senegalese baboons, papio papio. | intraperitoneal injections of delta 8-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) and delta 9-thc failed to affect myoclonic response to photic stimulation in senegalese baboons (papio papio). however, both isomers of thc exerted dose-related antiepileptic effects upon established kindled convulsions provoked by electrical stimulation of amygdala in the same species. delta 9-thc was more potent than delta 8-thc, in terms of both antiepileptic effects and general toxicity. the antiepileptic effects of the thc iso ... | 1975 | 810346 |
