gabaergic agents as anticonvulsants in baboons with photosensitive epilepsy.gabaergic agents have been evaluated for acute anticonvulsant activity in baboons, papio papio with photosensitive epilepsy. the potent gabaa agonists muscimol and thip are proconvulsant. (-)baclofen, 2 mg/kg suppresses myoclonic responses; higher doses facilitate eeg paroxysmal activity. (s) gamma-vinyl gaba, 100-200 mg/kg, suppresses myoclonic responses for more than 24 h. some derivatives of esters of beta-carboline-3-carboxylate that bind to the benzodiazepine receptor, e.g. zk 91296 and zk ...19846089055
conservation of the human col1a1-tk-gaa synteny and homoeologous assignment in the african green monkey and the baboon (cercopithecoidae).the pro alpha 1 (i) collagen structural gene (col1a1), the acid alpha-glucosidase (gaa), and the thymidine kinase (tk) genes, known to be closely linked in man (hsa) and mapped to hsa17, were found syntenic in two cercopithecoidae species, the baboon (papio papio, ppa) and the african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops, cae) and assigned to homoeologous chromosomes, ppa16 and cae19, respectively. the assignment of col1a1 was obtained using two human cdna probes. hind iii restriction sites foun ...19846096258
gamma-glutamyl transferase distribution in the organs of papio papio and macaca fascicularis.tissue distribution of non solubilized gamma-glutamyl transferase (ggt) was studied in eight baboons and ten macaques. in both, ggt is mainly in kidney, pancreas and liver. this tissue distribution of ggt is roughly similar to that observed in man.19806107384
[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 ...19826125000
differential effects of the benzodiazepine antagonist ro 15-1788 on two types of myoclonus in baboon papio papio.certain benzodiazepines (bzs) like lorazepam, diazepam or clonazepam induce myoclonus jerks in photosensitive and non-photosensitive baboons. papio papio, which are not accompanied by eeg paroxysmal discharges (type b). the effect of the selective bz antagonist r0 15-1788 was evaluated in this myoclonus. ro 15-1788 completely blocked type b myoclonus without decreasing the level of vigilance in the two types of baboons, and reversed the antiepileptic action of the bzs in the photosensitive ones, ...19836136945
antiepileptic action of excitatory amino acid antagonists in the photosensitive baboon, papio papio.antagonists of excitation induced by dicarboxylic amino acids have been evaluated for acute anticonvulsant activity in baboons, papio papio, with photosensitive epilepsy. 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, 1 mmol/kg, i.v., abolishes myoclonic responses for 5 h. less prolonged protection is seen after cis-2,3-piperidine-dicarboxylic acid, 1-3.3 mmol/kg; 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid, 1-3.3 mmol/kg; or glutamic acid diethyl ester, 1-3.3 mmol/kg. toxic side-effects are prominent after the latter ...19836138738
evidence for neurotransmitter abnormalities related to seizure activity in the epileptic baboon.the experimental evidence that indicates that alterations in neurotransmitter activity exacerbate or diminish seizure responses to intermittent light stimulation in the papio papio model of epilepsy is reviewed. studies of the effects of drugs known to modify the synthesis, storage release, or activity of known or putative neurotransmitters are included. catecholamines, to a lesser extent the indolamine, serotonin, and the inhibitory transmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid all alter seizures as do l ...19846145626
eeg and anticonvulsant effects of dipropylacetic acid and dipropylacetamide in the baboon papio papio.the ability of dipropylacetic acid (dpa) and dipropylacetamide (dpm) to modify eeg and seizure activity was assessed in 4 female and 3 male papio papio. doses of 30-60 mg/kg of dpa given at intervals over an 8 h period produced blood levels of 19-44 micrograms/ml which were not protective against intermittent light stimulation (ils). administration of 150-200 mg/kg doses at intervals over a 36 h period produced blood levels greater than 150 micrograms/ml and were highly protective against ils. s ...19806158417

cerebral and extracerebral blood volume in generalized seizures in the baboon papio papio.relative variations of the cerebral and extracerebral blood volume (cbv) were measured continuously by a novel atraumatic method in baboons to explore the relationship between changes in the systemic circulation and in the cerebral (and extracerebral) vascular responses, before, during and after generalized seizures induced by photic stimulation. major bursts of generalized spikes and waves are accompanied by an increase of the mean arterial pressure and of the cerebral blood volume and a decrea ...19816161785
cortical unit activity during intermittent photic stimulation in papio papio. relationship with paroxysmal fronto-rolandic activity.extracellular records have been made in the fronto-rolandic (fr), parietal and occipital cortical areas in papio papio injected with allylglycine and paralysed with a synthetic curarizing agent. the organization of the unit discharges in the absence of intermittent light stimulation (ils) is normal. during ils, unit discharges in the fr cortex are organized in bursts of high frequency that are synchronous with the spikes of the eeg paroxysmal discharges (pd) in the same territory; this burst-org ...19816166452
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 ...19816172264
characteristics and origin of frontal paroxysmal responses induced by light stimulation in the papio papio under allylglycine.in the papio papio, curarized and rendered photosensitive by injection of a subconvulsant dose of dl-allylglycine, single flashes induce frontal paroxysmal evoked responses on condition that they be preceded by trains of intermittent light stimulation (ils). the characteristics of these responses have been compared to those of non-paroxysmal responses induced in the same cortical area by isolated flashes (not preceded by trains of ils). the paroxysmal responses resemble spikes and waves and cons ...19826177492
the effects of constant light on eeg and seizure activity in the epileptic baboon.the effects of a change from a standard photoperiod (12:12 ld, 45 fc) to that of constant low level illumination (ll, 5 fc) on electroencephalographic activity (eeg), photic seizures and urine cortisol excretion were investigated in the baboon papio papio. unlike the normal circadian cycle, in which maximal urine cortisol excretion occurred at 08.00 h and minimal at 20.00 h, rhythms in cortisol excretion were free running under constant light, shifting an average of 2 h/week toward an earlier ti ...19826179743
limbic status epilepticus: behaviour and sleep alterations after intra-amygdaloid kainic acid microinjections in papio papio baboons.limbic status epilepticus was produced with single microinjections of kainic acid in the amygdala of baboons (papio papio). long-term studies of the behavioural, electrographic and sleep alterations were performed. during status epilepticus the animals did not display aggressive behaviour. feeding behaviour was diminished. sleep was also deeply disturbed. wakefulness was greatly increased, light slow wave sleep was diminished and deep slow wave sleep and paradoxical sleep was abolished. sleep al ...19826183093
speciation in the baboon and its relation to gamma-chain heterogeneity and to the response to induction of hbf by 5-azacytidine.in the baboon (papio species), the two nonallelic gamma-genes produce gamma-chains that differ at a minimum at residue 75, where isoleucine (i gamma-chain) or valine (v gamma) may be present. this situation obtains in baboons that are sometimes designated as papio anubis, papio hamadryas, and papio papio. however, in papio cynocephalus, although the i gamma-chains are identical with those in the above mentioned types, the v gamma-chains have the substitutions ala----gly at residue 9 and ala----v ...19846201212
the influence of intermittent light stimulation on potentials evoked by single flashes in photosensitive and non-photosensitive papio papio.the effects of intermittent light stimulation (ils) on visual potentials (veps), evoked in different cortical areas, were statistically studied in baboons either naturally photosensitive or made photosensitive by allylglycine at a subconvulsant dose, as well as in non-photosensitive animals. veps were induced by single flashes (paradigm a) or by flashes preceded by trains of ils (paradigm b). in every baboon, photosensitive or not, the veps induced by paradigm b in the striate area show a decrea ...19846201340
dna sequence of baboon highly repeated dna: evidence for evolution by nonrandom unequal crossovers.a highly repeated dna was isolated from the west african baboon (papio papio) as a 343-base-pair fragment after digestion of total baboon dna with the restriction endonuclease bamhi. the dna sequence of this fragment was obtained by chemical cleavage methods and is compared with the dna sequence of related highly repeated primate dnas from african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) and man. the 343-base-pair baboon repeat consists of two related but nonidentical wings of 172 and 171 base pair ...19806246524
silent delta-globin gene in old world monkeys.the delta polypeptide chain is present in the adult hemoglobin of all higher primates except old world monkeys. because old world monkeys have evolved from higher primate ancestors, it can be concluded that the ability to synthesize this polypeptide has been lost relatively recently. it is shown here that the gene for delta globin exists in two of these species, the rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) and the baboon (papio papio). restriction endonuclease fragments of monkey genomic dna bearing the d ...19806251467
sustained limbic seizures induced by intraamygdaloid kainic acid in the baboon: symptomatology and neuropathological consequences.in papio papio baboons chronically prepared for cortical and deep electroencephalographic recording, injection of kainic acid into the amygdala (7 animals) or temporal pole (2 animals) gave rise to focal epileptic discharges lasting 15 to 150 hours. electrographically, the seizure activity spread ipsilaterally and contralaterally within the limbic system but did not become generalized. the principal associated motor signs were arrest of movement and oral automatisms. histological examination aft ...19806254439
assessment of cell-mediated immunity against coxsackievirus b3-induced myocarditis in a primate model (papio papio).delayed hypersensitivity and myocarditis were induced in five baboons (papio papio) after inoculation with myocarditic murine coxsackievirus b3 (cvb3m). by means of the [3h]thymidine incorporation assay and the agarose droplet cell migration inhibition assay, specific cell-mediated immunity was detected in all five animals against viral antigens and/or kcl-extractable soluble antigens extracted from the heart of a cvb3m-inoculated baboon. kcl-extracted antigens from normal baboon heart tissues, ...19816260666

anticonvulsant actions of ds 103-282. pharmacological studies in rodents and the baboon, papio papio.the anticonvulsant actions of ds 103-282 [5-chloro-4-(2-imidazolin-2-yl-amino)-2,1,3- benzothiadazole , tizanidine], have been evaluated after intraperitoneal administration in dba/2 mice (seizures induced by sound), in swiss s mice (seizures induced by n-methyl-d,l-aspartate; nmdla ) and following intravenous or oral administration in papio papio (seizure responses to intermittent photic stimulation). protection against sound-induced seizures occurred after intraperitoneal administration of ds ...19846377114
comparative assessment of dopamine agonist aporphines as anticonvulsants in two models of reflex epilepsy.the anticonvulsant action of various aporphine derivatives that act on dopamine receptors has been investigated in two genetically determined animal models--dba/2 mice with sound-induced seizures and baboons papio papio with photically-induced seizures. protection against the clonic and tonic phases of the seizures response in dba/2 mice was seen for 15-60 min after (-)2,10,11-trihydroxy-n-n-propylnoraporphine (1.25 mg/kg) and (-)10,11-methyl-enedioxy-n-n-propylnoraporphine (0.625-1.25 mg/kg) an ...19836415743
action of suriclone in naturally and allyglycine-induced photosensitive baboons, papio papio.suriclone (sc) is a new anxiolytic compound with a chemical structure different from that of benzodiazepines (bzd) but sc possesses a high affinity for the so-called bzd receptors. sc was tested in the naturally or the allylglycine-treated photosensitive baboon papio papio. as active bzd administered by the intramuscular or oral route, this new compound possesses a marked protective effect against the excessive photosensitivity of the baboons, it blocks myoclonus following eeg spike and waves di ...19846436048
dental microwear and mechanisms in early hominids from laetoli and hadar.the dentition of early hominids from laetoli and hadar provide evidence of "incisal stripping" and a shear-grinding action for c/p3 complex through microscopic examination of wear facets on dental crowns. this masticatory pattern of dental wear resembles that of papio papio and suggests behavioral analogies between early hominids and papio.19846437237
heterogeneity of hepatic microsomal udp-glucuronosyltransferase(s) activities: comparison between human and mammalian species activities.the first comparative profiles of udp-glucuronosyltransferase(s) (udpgt) activities obtained under standard conditions in vitro in mammals (man, rat [wistar and gunn], mouse, monkey [papio papio and cynomolgus], pig, guinea pig, rabbit, dog) are presented for 16 aglycones. a decreasing scale of these activities was obtained from planar to bulky molecules. the scale was identical for each of the mammals studied, including man. statistical analysis of the results revealed a division of the aglycon ...19846439424
genetic animal models of epilepsy as a unique resource for the evaluation of anticonvulsant drugs. a review.genetic animal models of epilepsy comprise genetically predisposed animal species in which seizures either occur spontaneously or in response to sensory stimulation. the major advantage of these naturally occurring epilepsies in animals as models of human epilepsy is that they simulate the clinical situation more closely than any other experimental epilepsy. models with idiopathic spontaneous recurrent seizures are epileptic dogs, tottering mice, and rats with spike-wave absence (petit mal) seiz ...19846439966
effects of addition of nitrogen during rapid compression of baboons.a series of dives was carried out to depths of 600 and 800 m seawater (msw) using baboons (papio papio). experiments were designed to study the effects of compression and the use of a he-n2-o2 gas mixture on high-pressure nervous syndrome (hpns). when n2 was added to the he-o2 mixture at the beginning of a linear compression (200 msw/h), the symptoms associated with hpns were still seen; in addition, the electroencephalogram (eeg) changes were more severe than those seen without n2. by use of an ...19846469803
hpns of baboons during helium-nitrogen-oxygen slow exponential compressions.from the results obtained with the experimental series corasin (fast compression with he-n2-o2), a method of compression has been developed for the baboon (papio papio) to dive deeper than 600 m. this method utilizes an exponential compression profile with stages of 40 min every 100 m and with the introduction of n2 before each stage from 200 m onward to maintain a concentration of 5.5%. between 0 and 800 m, this procedure did not produce myoclonus or epileptic seizures; tremor appeared beyond 4 ...19846469804
behavioural and convulsant actions of two methyl esters of beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid in photosensitive baboons and in dba/2 mice.the proconvulsant and convulsant actions of methyl 6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (dmcm) and of methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (beta-ccm) have been evaluated in two animal models of reflex epilepsy, the photosensitive baboon, papio papio, and the audiogenic seizure prone dba/2 mouse. in baboons, myoclonic responses to photic stimulation are markedly enhanced 1 min after dmcm, 0.25 mg/kg i.v. in the absence of photic stimulation dmcm, 0.5 mg/kg i.v. induces a single brief ...19846499918
[connections of the laterodorsal nucleus of the thalamus in the monkey. study of efferents].efferent pathways of the ld nucleus of the thalamus were studied in 6 papio-papio baboons with the retrograde transport technique utilizing hrp. injections were made in cingular and parietal cortex and hippocampal formation. large projection from the ld to the cingular and subicular cortex were visualized as reciprocal connections. no pathway to parietal area 7 was found. the course of the fibers is via the fornix, the cingular bundle and the retro-lenticular portion of the internal capsule. the ...19846505490
physostigmine antagonizes benzodiazepine-induced myoclonus in the baboon, papio papio.the antagonism of some benzodiazepine (bz) actions by physostigmine was investigated in 4 papio papio baboons. as a model of these actions, the myoclonus induced in this species by clonazepam i.m. administration was used. the baboon develops, 20-30 min after bz i.m. injection, a non-epileptic myoclonus characterized by clinical symptomatology (jerks involving mainly the neck and the trunk bilaterally), by the absence of any correlative eeg discharge, and by its facilitation during movement. this ...19846527840
amygdaloid kindling in papio cynocephalus and subsequent recurrent spontaneous seizures.three baboons, papio cynocephalus, (two photosensitive and one nonphotosensitive) were subjected to amygdaloid kindling. electroclinical profile of seizure development-developed seizure compares very favourably to that described in photosensitive baboons, papio papio, with rapid seizure progression and ultimate emergence of stage 5 bisymmetrical and bisynchronous generalized convulsive state. in addition, one baboon developed spontaneous recurrent seizures which were identical to the kindled sta ...19846532930
new gene assignments in the baboon and new chromosome homoeologies with man.eight new gene assignments were demonstrated in the baboon (papio papio, ppa) by cosegregation analysis of twelve hybrid clones obtained by fusion between ppa fibroblasts and a mouse cell line deficient in thymidine kinase. the following markers and syntenic groups were assigned: sod1 to ppa3, glo-me1 to ppa-4, pgm2 to ppa5, ckbb-sord to ppa7, ldhb to ppa11 and ldha to ppa14. these localizations are in agreement wit hthe following homoeologies with the human karyotype: ppa3-hsa21, ppa4-hsa6, ppa ...19836604489
heredofamilial retinal dystrophy in guinea baboons. i. a histopathologic study.we performed a histopathologic study of a heredofamilial retinal dystrophy in a colony of guinea baboons. a bull's-eye appearance was noted in the maculas of six baboons of three generations. histologic examination of 13 eyes from this colony showed primary degeneration of both rod and cone cells initially in the parafoveal region, which subsequently involved the photoreceptor cells of the equator and periphery of the retina. the retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris showed mild change ...19836626015
[thymosin-testosterone interaction in spontaneous rosette formation in the baboon monkey (papio papio)].thymosine fraction v was shown to exert a stimulation activity on t lymphocytes from papio papio, as determined by e. rosette and active e. rosette formation. testosterone inhibited this effect of thymosin.19836627910
heredofamilial retinal dystrophy in guinea baboons. ii. electron microscopic observations.electron microscopic study of an inherited retinal degeneration in guinea baboons disclosed primary pathologic alterations in photoreceptor cells. these changes were first seen in the perifoveal region. cell death occurred in two forms: hydropic degeneration and densification and/or necrosis. the hydropic type was mainly associated with cone cells, whereas densification and/or necrosis was largely seen in rod cells. lamellar bodies and granular membrane-bound inclusions were noted in the inner s ...19836639434
naloxone reversal and morphine exacerbation of neurologic deficits secondary to focal cerebral ischemia in baboons.the effects of an opiate agonist (morphine) and antagonist (naloxone) on neurologic function in conditions of acute and subacute focal cerebral ischemia were tested in a baboon model. fourteen baboons (papio papio) underwent unilateral transorbital microsurgical occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (mca). blood pressure, heart rate and core temperature were monitored continuously; frequent arterial blood gas measurements were made. cardiac output, cardiac filling pressures, and regional cereb ...19846692145
limbic kindling in the forebrain-bisected photosensitive baboon, papio papio.when forebrain-bisected photosensitive baboons, papio papio, were kindled from the amygdala or hippocampus, bilateralization of convulsive seizure proved difficult, and the final stage of bisymmetrical and bisynchronous convulsive seizure unique to this species did not develop despite more than twice the number of kindling stimulations required for its development in nonbisected baboons. at the secondary site amygdala, convulsive seizure development was suppressed. findings of the present and pr ...19846723588
effects of the bicyclic gaba agonist, thip, on myoclonic and seizure responses in mice and baboons with reflex epilepsy.thip, 4,5,6,7-tetra hydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-3-ol, has been evaluated as an anticonvulsant in dba/2 mice showing audiogenic seizures, and in baboons, papio papio, with photosensitive epilepsy. no protection against seizures was seen after thip, 1-4 mg/kg, intraperitoneally in mice. thip, 8 mg/kg, reduced clonic and subsequent seizure responses at 1 h. it also reduced rectal temperature and impaired posture and spontaneous activity. in baboons thip, 0.25-8 mg/kg, iv, failed to protect agains ...19806767614
proteoglycan populations of baboon (papio papio) cartilages from different anatomical sites: gel electrophoretic analysis of dissociated proteoglycans and of fractions obtained by density gradient centrifugation.proteoglycans extracted by 4 m guanidinium chloride from different cartilages and vertebral discs of young baboons (papio papio) were purified by ion-exchange chromatography and assessed by gel electrophoresis. proteoglycans fractionated by equilibrium density gradient centrifugation under 'dissociative' conditions were similarly purified and assessed. (1) non-fractionated proteoglycans from articular, nasal, laryngeal, tracheal, costal, vertebral plate and ear cartilage and from anulus fibrosus ...19806770906
circadian periodicity of brain activity and urinary excretion in the epileptic baboon.a 24-h rhythm in the proclivity of the baboon papio papio to exhibit a seizure response to intermittent light stimulation (ils) has been uncovered. seizure response to ils was found to be greatest in the morning at about 0900 h, 2 h after lights on, and least severe in the evening at about 2000 h 1 h after lights off. urine cortisol and potassium excretion rhythms followed the same pattern as seizure susceptibility and sodium rhythms were 3 or 4 delayed. mean values for urine cortisol per 4 h ra ...19806772040
anticonvulsant and proconvulsant properties of viloxazine hydrochloride: pharmacological and pharmacokinetic studies in rodents and the epileptic baboon.viloxazine hcl is evaluated as an anticonvulsant in a wide range of rodent seizure models and in the epileptic baboon (papio papio). in the maximal electroshock test, the oral ed50 for abolition of tonic extension was 9 mg/kg-1 after 30-min pretreatment (mouse) rising to 30 mg/kg-1 after 60 min (mouse and rat). comparable ed50 values were also found for protection against tonic extension in the mouse induced by the administration of the chemical convulsants metrazole or 3-mercaptopropionic acid. ...19826808538
[consequences of pulpectomy followed by canal obturation on the renewal of periodontal ligament in the baboon (papio papio)].endodontic root filling following pulpectomy in baboons was shown to induce diphasic consequences at the level of the periodontal ligament according to the time of the observation. initially the specific activity of previously incorporated 3h glycine decreased and the weight of extractible ligament increased at the same time. later on, the turnover slowed down and, unexpectedly, the weight of the extractible ligament decreased. this could be explained since the periodotal ligament was shown to e ...19826812879

noradrenergic regulation of growth hormone secretion in the baboon.we have investigated the effects of iv administered noradrenergic agonists and antagonists on plasma gh concentration in the adolescent baboon, papio papio, with the aim of defining the relative roles of adrenergic receptor subtypes (alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2) in the regulation of gh release. clonidine (0.02 mg/kg) or uk-14,304 (0.02 mg/kg), potent centrally acting alpha 2 noradrenergic agonists, were infused into 24 animals pretreated with either saline, or selective alpha 1 and alph ...19836847820
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 ...19826889975
comparative gene mapping of the baboon (papio papio) and man.seven new gene assignments were demonstrated in the baboon (papio papio) by cosegregation analysis of twelve cell hybrids obtained between ppa fibroblasts and a mouse cell line deficient in thymidine kinase. the following markers and syntenic groups were localized : gusb on ppa3 ; np-mpi-pkm2-idh2 on ppa7; ada on ppa10 and idh1 on ppa12. these results are consistent with the following homoeologies of ppa and hsa chromosomes : ppa3-hsa7 ; ppa7-hsa14 and 15 ; ppa10-hsa20 and ppa12-hsa2q19826979294
production of 18f-labelled 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose and preliminary imaging results.to allow an additional approach to the study of brain metabolism in our laboratory, the synthesis of 18f-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose (18fdg) has been adapted by the development of simple, reliable control techniques for routine use. by positron emission computed tomography, it has been established, in the baboon papio papio, that there was a correlation between an epileptic focus and an increase in glucose incorporation. on the other hand, in man, a comparison between the local glucose utilizatio ...19826981509
okt8 human phenotype expressed by papio papio monkey lymphocytes.the potential cross-reactivity between human and papio papio monkey lymphocyte antigens was investigated using various monoclonal antibodies specific for human t cell subsets and hla-dr antigens. monkey circulating lymphocytes expressed the okt8 antigen, specific for the suppressor/cytotoxic t cell population and the htla antigens. these reactivities were also detected on lymphoid cells in the thymus and lymph nodes of the papio monkey.19826982277
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.19827079862
action of progabide in the photosensitive baboon, papio papio.progabide is a gaba agonist which is nontoxic and crosses the blood-brain barrier. progabide was tested in naturally and allylglycine-induced photosensitive baboons (papio papio). intravenous injection of various doses (30 to 100 mg/kg) of progabide induced a protective effect against intermittent light stimulation (25 hz) in both test situations. this protection lasted 10 to 120 min. this duration was dose-dependent and was generally shorter in allylglycine-treated than in naturally photosensit ...19827140662
transient abolition of generalized photosensitive epileptic discharge in humans by apomorphine, a dopamine-receptor agonist.apomorphine, an agonist of dopamine receptors, blocks or significantly reduces photically induced seizures in the baboon (papio papio). we therefore studied the effect of subcutaneously administered apomorphine in 11 patients with generalized photosensitive epilepsy. visual evoked potentials were not altered by apomorphine, but in nine patients apomorphine transiently blocked the epileptic photosensitivity for an average of 45 minutes. therefore, dopaminergic mechanisms play a role in the pathop ...19807191513
the influence of d-penicillamine treatment upon seizure activity and trace metal status in the senegalese baboon, papio papio.reports suggesting participation of trace metals in processes of seizure initiation and propagation in humans and experimental animals prompted an investigation of the relationship between copper and zinc status and seizure activity in the senegalese baboon, papio papio. an evaluation of serum trace metal concentrations in three species of nonhuman primates revealed the presence of elevated zinc levels in p. papio moderately sensitive to photically induced seizures, compared with mildly seizure- ...19817205648

[somatosensory evoked potentials: morphology and interareal s1-m1 relationships in the baboon (papio papio)].primary somatosensory potentials (seps) were elicited by electrical stimulation of the medial sciatic (proprioceptive) or sural (cutaneous) nerves. they were detected by contacts on si and mi dura on both cortical sides against a cephalic reference. seps were averaged (n = 20). primary si sep consisted of positive, then negative, pi6/n30 waves. n30 was absent from mi records. local electrocoagulation of the si cortex on one side has entailed some reduction, but not suppression of together the ho ...19969102564
processing of global and local visual information and hemispheric specialization in humans (homo sapiens) and baboons (papio papio).global precedence was examined in 8 baboons and 14 humans using compound stimuli presented in the left visual hemifield (lvf) or the right visual hemifield (rvf). humans showed a global advantage and global-to-local interference. baboons showed a local advantage and no interference. for humans and baboons, a lvf advantage appeared for global matching and an unsignificant rvf advantage appeared for local matching. the local advantage in baboons still emerged when the memory load of the task was r ...19979104003
sequence and characterization of the sperm protein sp17 from the baboon.in this study, cdnas encoding the sperm protein sp17 from the baboon (papio papio) have been cloned and sequenced. three clones, differing in the lengths of their 3' untranslated regions, were identified, which were encoded by mrna transcripts of 0.8-1.35 kb. the open reading frame encodes 163 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 18.8 kda. the baboon sp17 protein sequence is 97% identical to human sp17 but differs significantly by the addition of 12 amino acids at the c-terminal, provi ...19979110316
localization of fcgr1 encoding fcgamma receptor class i in primates: molecular evidence for two pericentric inversions during the evolution of human chromosome 1.the human high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin g, fcgammari (fcgr1), is encoded by a family of three genes that share over 95% sequence homology. curiously, the three genes in this recently duplicated gene family flank the centromere of human chromosome 1, with fcgr1b located at 1p12 and both fcgr1a and fcgr1c located at 1q21. we have previously speculated that a pericentric inversion could account for the separation of the genes in the fcgr1 family and explain their current chromosomal loc ...19989763663
comparative assessment of distance processing and hemispheric specialization in humans and baboons (papio papio).this comparative study explored the ability to process distance and its lateralization in humans and baboons. using a conditional matching-to-sample procedure in a divided-field format, subjects had to decide whether or not the distance between a line and a dot belonged to a short- or a long-distance category. experiments 1, 2, and 4 demonstrated the ability of baboons to process and categorize distances. moreover, humans showed better distance processing for right visual field/left hemisphere p ...19989853095
