title: Photically induced seizures in the yellow baboon, Papio cynocephalus.
abstract: 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).
