After the chronic infusion of GABA into the cortex of baboon Papio Papio, a sudden stop of the infusion provoked cortical epileptic discharges around the infused area. And the baboon exhibited partial epilepsy for about 3 days. The result suggested that GABA withdrawal syndrome should be a good model not only to understand the mechanism of epilepsia partialis continua but also partial epilepsy with a circumscribed cortical focus.
