Abstract
Summary
Tetrodotoxin injected into the lateral cerebral ventricle of cats produced a reversible loss of volitional control. This syndrome differs from general anesthesia in that the EEG showed a waking pattern which could be “activated” by sensory stimulation throughout the course of motor dysfunction. The behavioral effects of lateral ventricular procaine mimicked those of tetrodotoxin, but procaine interfered with EEG activation due to sensory stimulation.
