Abstract:
In 7 cats 800 IU of penicillin were applied diffusely over one hemisphere on the exposed neocortex. After 40 min all animals showed bilateral and synchronous burst discharges with a higher amplitude at the hemisphere where the penicillin had been applied. These data fill a gap in the literature concerning feline generalized penicillin epilepsy, in which penicillin is applied bilaterally on the exposed neocortex.
