Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that the N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) receptor in the inferior colliculus is involved in the induction of audiogenic seizures (AGS). In the present study we examined audiogenic-like seizure susceptibility in GluR epsilon 1 null KO adult mice (n=32) and wild-type adult mice (n=28) by electrically stimulating the inferior colliculus (IC). Threshold current intensities of the GluR epsilon 1 KO mice...
