| reflex reticular myoclonus: relationship to some brainstem pathophysiological mechanisms. | two patients with reflex reticular myoclonus [rrm] were tested electrophysiologically and pharmacologically. in one of the cases the underlying disease was chronic lyme borreliosis. in the other, the rrm attacks may have been associated with procarbazine therapy applied for hodgkin's disease. no cortical lesion could be demonstrated either clinically or electrophysiologically [eeg, averaged eeg preceeding the jerks, ssep]. an emg analysis of the jerks revealed the shortest latency in the muscles ... | 1991 | 2048395 |
| infectivity of trypanosoma (trypanozoon) brucei gambiense for baboons (papio hamadryas, papio papio). | in order to study sensitivity or resistance of t.b. gambiense to baboon serum, two species of baboons, p. hamadryas and p. papio were inoculated with t.b. gambiense clone litat 1.1. both species were receptive to infection but, parasitological and immunological parameters showed that p. papio was more trypanotolerant than p. hamadryas. the vat-specific trypanolysis test and the elisa, using moab for circulating antigen detection may be appropriate for the diagnosis of human trypanosomiasis due t ... | 1991 | 2042999 |
| anticonvulsant action of the beta-carboline abecarnil: studies in rodents and baboon, papio papio. | abecarnil (zk 112119; isopropyl-6-benzyloxy-4-methoxymethyl-beta-carboxylate) is a metabolically stable beta-carboline derivative with potent anxiolytic and few sedative and ataxic effects in rodents. the anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant actions of abecarnil have been evaluated in mice, rats, gerbils and baboons. abecarnil raised the threshold for tonic electroconvulsions in mice after corneal but not after auricular application, had no effect on maximal electroshock-induced tonic convulsions ... | 1990 | 1970362 |
| language-apparent reflex epilepsy. | an adolescent with photosensitive epilepsy had absence seizures reproduced by forced voluntary eye closure in light or in darkness, independent of eyelid immobilization or ocular elevation. attacks preferably occurred while speaking spanish, her second language, mediated through brief, strong, automatic closing of the eyes during difficult word retrieval. complex other multidirectional ocular movements or blinking, cognitive and language tasks were ineffective. frontorolandic cortical epileptoge ... | 1991 | 1908752 |
| effect of dn-1417 on photosensitivity and cortically kindled seizure in senegalese baboons, papio papio. | the effect of dn-1417, a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (trh) analogue, on photosensitivity and cortically kindled seizures was examined in seven senegalese baboons (papio papio). intravenous (i.v.) administration of 2 mg/kg had no effect on either photosensitivity or cortically kindled seizures. when this agent was administered intracisternally, both the photomyoclonic response and cortically kindled seizures were suppressed for 4-5 days. a study of the transcallosal response also showed a long- ... | 2016 | 1898719 |
| calcium-binding protein (calbindin-d28k) and parvalbumin immunocytochemistry in the normal and epileptic human hippocampus. | the calcium-binding proteins calbindin-d28k (cabp) and parvalbumin (pv) were localized in the "normal" and "epileptic" human hippocampus to address the possible relationship between the expression of these constitutive cytosolic calcium-binding proteins and the resistance or selective vulnerability of different hippocampal neuron populations in temporal lobe epilepsy. compared to rodents and a baboon (papio papio), the pattern of cabp-like immunoreactivity (li) in the "normal" human hippocampus ... | 1991 | 1865007 |

| in vivo benzodiazepine receptor occupancy by cl 218,872 visualized by positron emission tomography in the brain of the living baboon: modulation by gabaergic transmission and relation with anticonvulsant activity. | in vivo benzodiazepine receptor occupancy by increasing doses of cl 218,872 has been evaluated in the baboon papio papio, using (11c) ro 15-1788 as specific radioligand and positron emission tomography as external detection system. although bzr heterogeneity has been previously demonstrated in the brain of the living baboon using pet, we did not observe in our studies that cl 218,872 interacts preferentially with one of the bzr subtypes. the monophasic pattern of the dose dependent cl 218,872 di ... | 1991 | 1673661 |
| effects of pharmacological manipulation on neurotransmitter and other amino acid levels in the csf of the senegalese baboon papio papio. | the concentrations of gaba, glutamate, aspartate, glycine, taurine, glutamine, asparagine and alanine were determined in the csf of 10 senegalese baboons (papio papio) following initial ketamine anaesthesia and subsequent administration (4 h later) of different compounds known to alter either inhibitory or excitatory neurotransmission. ketamine itself was apparently without effect as the administration of a second dose of ketamine did not significantly alter the levels of any of the amino acids ... | 1991 | 1673360 |
| relationships between benzodiazepine receptors, impairment of gabaergic transmission and convulsant activity of beta-ccm: a pet study in the baboon papio papio. | central type benzodiazepine receptors were studied in vivo by positron emission tomography in brain areas of 2 different groups of the baboon papio papio: non-photosensitive (group 1) and those with an allylglycine-induced decrease in gaba-mediated inhibition (group 2). further, a naturally photosensitive papio papio (+3 level of photosensitive response) was compared to both groups. regional brain binding of the specific benzodiazepine receptor ligand, [11c]ro 15-1788, was not significantly diff ... | 2016 | 1647949 |

| purification of two cytochrome p450 isozymes related to cyp2a and cyp3a gene families from monkey (baboon, papio papio) liver microsomes. cross reactivity with human forms. | two cytochrome p450 isozymes, fa and fi, were isolated and characterized from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-induced baboons (papio papio). the cytochrome fa possesses the same n-terminal amino acid sequence as p450 mk2 from crab-eating monkeys (macaca irus) and closely resembles the human p450 3a isozymes. this cytochrome was able to oxidize nifedipine and hydroxylate testosterone at the 6 beta position. the second baboon cytochrome (fi) is closely related to the p450 2a subfamily and has th ... | 1992 | 1541278 |
| in vivo visualization of central muscarinic receptors using [11c]quinuclidinyl benzilate and positron emission tomography in baboons. | the muscarinic antagonist, quinuclidinyl benzilate (qnb), labeled with carbon 11 was used as a radioligand to visualize in vivo by positron emission tomography (pet) the central muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (machr) in baboons (papio papio). the binding characteristics of [11c]qnb showed its specific binding to central machr. [11c]qnb brain uptake was high in cerebral cortex and striatum, areas that are rich in machr, whereas it decreased rapidly in cerebellum, evidencing non-specific bindi ... | 1992 | 1521561 |
| longitudinal effect of tiludronate on bone mineral density, resonant frequency, and strength in monkeys. | the effect of tiludronate on bone was studied in 72 growing monkeys (papio papio), 36 males and 36 females, aged 4-7 years. they were randomly allocated into four groups (18 animals per group, 9 males and 9 females): group i, controls; group ii, 10 mg/kg/day; group iii, 20 mg/kg/day; and group iv, 40 mg/kg/day of tiludronate. a total of 12 animals (6 males and 6 females) in each group were sacrificed at the end of treatment (1 year) and 6 animals (3 males and 3 females) per group 1 year later. b ... | 1992 | 1414478 |
| magnetic resonance imaging to monitor pathology of caudate-putamen after excitotoxin-induced neuronal loss in the nonhuman primate brain. | we used mr imaging to locate and monitor in vivo the pathological events taking place 2 to 4 weeks after unilateral striatal injections of ibotenic acid (ia) in the papio papio baboon. as early as 2 weeks after ia injections, excitotoxic lesions in the caudate and the putamen were directly visualized on t1-weighted images as small areas of low signal intensity. on t2-weighted images, the lesion sites were visualized as areas of high-intensity signal, spreading over larger areas than the correspo ... | 1992 | 1397172 |
| anticonvulsant profile of mdl 27,266: an orally active, broad-spectrum anticonvulsant agent. | the novel anticonvulsant substance mdl 27,266 was tested in a variety of anticonvulsant models to assess its anticonvulsant profile, behavioral toxicity and oral bioavailability. intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered mdl 27,266 afforded complete protection against sound-induced seizures in dba/2j and frings audiogenic-seizure (ags)-susceptible mice (ed50s: 5.0 and 5.1 mg/kg, respectively). it was also effective following i.p. administration to cf#1 mice against maximal electroshock (mes)-, pente ... | 1992 | 1396547 |
| in vitro dissolution of uranium oxide by baboon alveolar macrophages. | in vitro cellular dissolution tests for insoluble forms of uranium oxide are technically difficult with conventional methodology using adherent alveolar macrophages. the limited number of cells per flask and the slow dissolution rate in a large volume of nutritive medium are obvious restricting factors. macrophages in suspension cannot be substituted because they represent different and poorly reproducible functional subtypes with regard to activation and enzyme secretion. preliminary results on ... | 1992 | 1396447 |
| serotoninergic, noradrenergic, and peptidergic innervation of onuf's nucleus of normal and transected spinal cords of baboons (papio papio). | we have investigated with light and electron microscope immunocytochemistry the aminergic and peptidergic innervation of onuf's nucleus in adult baboons. this nucleus, located in the ventrolateral part of the sacral spinal cord (s2 and s3), is considered to control urethral and anal sphincters and penile muscles. by comparison of intact and transected spinal cords, we have found that serotoninergic innervation has two origins: first, supraspinal, innervating the whole nucleus, with a possible pr ... | 1992 | 1374763 |
| the effects of ampa receptor antagonists on kindled seizures and on reflex epilepsy in rodents and primates. | two potent glutamate antagonists, nbqx and gyki 52466, that act selectively on non-nmda receptors, have been tested for anticonvulsant activity in 3 models of reflex epilepsy (sound-induced seizures in dba/2 mice and in genetically epilepsy-prone rats and photically-induced myoclonus in papio papio) and in amygdala kindled rats. both compounds potently but transiently suppress reflexly-induced epileptic responses. gyki 52466 also reduces behavioral seizures and afterdischarge duration in amygdal ... | 1992 | 1337444 |
| recurrent spontaneous seizure state induced by prefrontal kindling in senegalese baboons, papio papio. | in our earlier study of amygdaloid kindling in papio papio (pp), the development of partial complex seizure and of focal motor seizure was correlated with bifrontal theta discharge and increasing rolandic spike discharge respectively and the final stage was characterized by primary generalized convulsive seizure. since the latter seizure pattern is known to originate from the frontal focus in man, the frontal cortex became suspect in the development of the final stage seizure pattern. daily pref ... | 1975 | 1201534 |
| photically induced epilepsy in papio papio as a model for drug studies. | neurophysiological studies employing drugs have been undertaken in the natural syndrome of photically induced epilepsy in the senegalese baboon papio papio. gaba-mediated inhibition, both pre- and posysynaptic, plays an important role in the epileptic manifestations seen in this syndrome synapses can significantly modify photically induced epileptic responses, partly as a result of changes in afferent activity. the level of activity in dopaminergic systems can also modify the epileptic signs. am ... | 1975 | 1170711 |
| drugs modifying dopaminergic activity and behaviour, the eeg and epilepsy in papio papio. | acute changes in spontaneous motor activity, the eeg and photically induced epileptic responses have been observed in baboons (papio papio) following the i.v. injection of drugs acting on dopaminergic transmission. apomorphine hydrochloride, 0.5-1.0 mg/kg, produced a phase of acute excitement with accentuated vigilance and abnormal buccal motor activity lasting 30-40 min; during this phase myoclonic responses to intermittent photic stimulation were absent. after piribedil (et 495, 1,2'' -pyrimid ... | 1991 | 1149807 |
| excessive light sensitivity in papio papio: its variation with age, sex, and geographic origin. | excessive sensitivity (levels 3 and 4) in a population of 1,122 papio papio was related with age, sex, and geographical origin. (1) age. there was no clinical response to intermittent light stimulation under the age of 5 months. these was no difference between animals 6 months to 2 years (j1) and those aged 2 to 4 years (j2). adult females were less often light sensitive (levels 3 and 4 = 32.9%) than immature females (52.4%). adult males could usually not be tested, but were probably less often ... | 1975 | 1149713 |
| neurophysiology of photically induced epilepsy in papio papio. | this chapter critically reviews arguments supporting the role of the frontal cortex in light-sensitive epilepsy of the baboon papio papio in the light of the most recent neurophysiological research. in particular, it is known that spontaneous or ils-induced paroxysmal discharges, as well as generalized seizures, originate in the frontorolandic cortical region. in this region during ils, neurons behave in the same manner as hyperexcitable neurons in focal epileptogenic lesions of animals and man. ... | 1975 | 1146641 |
