The genetic photosensitive epilepsy of the Fayoumi chickens was transferred to normal chickens by grafting, in situ, on the 2nd day of incubation, the prosencephalic and mesencephalic vesicles from epileptic embryos. Such chimeras displayed typical interictal EEG and developed intermittent light stimulation-induced seizures phenotypically and electrically similar to the epileptic strain seizures.
