Abstract excerpt
WAG/Rij rats, a genetic model of absence epilepsy, show two types of spike-wave discharges (Type 1 and Type 2) in their EEG activity. The large interindividual variation in the expression of the phenotypes (number and mean duration of spike-wave discharges) suggests that as well as genetic, environmental factors also play a role. The aim of our study was to establish effects of strain and housing on the incidence...
