Photically induced seizures in the yellow baboon, Papio cynocephalus.
Significant susceptibility to photically induced seizures has in the past been observed only in Senegales baboons (Papio papio) and epileptic humans. However, we have unexpectedly observed a photomyoclonic response to intermittent photic stimulation in 5 of a sample of 6 yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus).
