"We report two cases of unusual movement disorders associated with the use of gabapentin (GBP) in patients being treated for epilepsy who were otherwise neurologically intact."3.69Movement disorders associated with the use of gabapentin. ( Krahn, LE; Reeves, AL; Sharbrough, FW; So, EL, 1996)
"A first type corresponds to myoclonus induced by photic stimulation (25 Hz)."2.36[Myoclonus induced by some benzodiazepines in the Papio papio. Comparison with myoclonus induced by intermittent light stimulation (author's transl)]. ( Calderazzo, L; Cepeda, C; Naquet, R; Stutzmann, JM; Valin, A, 1982)
"Ro 15-1788 completely blocked type B myoclonus without decreasing the level of vigilance in the two types of baboons, and reversed the antiepileptic action of the BZs in the photosensitive ones, permitting the reappearance of myoclonus following EEG paroxysmal discharges (type A)."1.27Differential effects of the benzodiazepine antagonist Ro 15-1788 on two types of myoclonus in baboon Papio papio.
