Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mapping seizure susceptibility loci in mice provides a framework for identifying potentially novel candidate genes for human epilepsy. Using C57BL/6J × A/J chromosome substitution strains (CSS), we previously identified a locus on mouse chromosome 10 (Ch10) conferring susceptibility to pilocarpine, a muscarinic cholinergic agonist that models human temporal lobe epilepsy by inducing initial limbic...
