Experimental Epilepsy in the Monkey Following Multiple Intracerebral Injections of Alumina Cream

The multiple intracerebral injection of alumina cream (aluminum hydroxide cream) into a principal cerebral sensorimotor cortical area is effective in producing chronic epilepsy in monkeys. Some of the clinical, pathological and electroencephalographic features of such epileptic animals, supplemented by a motion picture demonstration of a reactive monkey are the subject of the present report.
