Description

Excerpt from The Alienist and Neurologist, Vol. 6: A Quarterly Journal; Scientific, Clinical and Forensic Psychiatry and Neurology; Intended Especially to Subserve the Wants of the General Practitioner of Medicine First. The disposition to cortical epilepsy varies much in different classes of animals; it is absent in the batrachia, in reptiles and birds, but it is present in the mammifera. By exciting, with a very strong Faradic current, the cerebral hemispheres of frogs, toads, chickens or pigeons, we do not succeed in provoking any epileptic access. Only some of the mammifera are predisposed to present cortical epilepsy. Albertoni observed that the sheep, the goat, the ass and the horse are not susceptible of having partial epilepsy; whilst in cats, dogs and monkeys it is very easily provoked.
