title: Arrest reaction with concomitant spike and wave afterdischarge following thalamic stimulation in conscious juvenile monkeys with Al (OH)3 focal premotor lesions.
abstract: The behavioural and electroencephalographic responses resulting from stimulation of a specific area in the nucleus medialis dorsalis (nMD) of unanaesthetized juvenile Rhesus monkeys is described. A behavioural arrest reaction, lack of awareness and motor inhibition with concomitant 2 1/2 to 3Hz spike and wave EEG afterdischarge patterns were obtained by stimulation of the nMD in monkeys with bilaterally symmetrical aluminium hydroxide Al (OH)3 lesions in anterior premotor cortical areas.
