Abstract
1.1. A description is given of focal electrical seizures elicited in the visual cortex of essentially unanaesthetized cats by direct and restricted repetitive electrical stimulation of the same region of cortex.2.2. These seizures were markedly depressed by Dilantin and phenobarbital in doses of the order found to be effective in terminating status epilepticus in man. Nembutal in similarly small doses exhibited approximately the same action. Tridione had no significant effects.3.3. It is suggested that this technique might be of value in predicting the clinical action of new anticonvulsants.
