Photically-Induced Epilepsy in Papio Papio: The Initiation of Discharges and the Role of the Frontal Cortex and of the Corpus Callosum

  • Conference paper
Synchronization of EEG Activity in Epilepsies

Abstract

Until recently the experimental study of photosensitive epilepsy was obstructed by a major difficulty, namely the absence in the experimental animal of a syndrome comparable to that in man; indeed such a syndrome could be provoked only by the injection of convulsant drugs.
