Abstract excerpt
Juvenile mice of the DBA/2J strain undergo generalised seizures when exposed to a high-intensity auditory stimulus. Genetic analysis identified three different loci underlying this audiogenic seizure proneness (ASP)-Asp1, Asp2 and Asp3 on chromosomes 12, 4 and 7, respectively. Asp1 is thought to have the strongest influence, and mice with only Asp1 derived from the DBA/2J strain are reported to exhibit ASP. The...
