Abstract excerpt
Mature DBA/2J (D2) mice are very sensitive to seizures induced by various chemical and physical stimuli, whereas C57BL/6J (B6) mice are relatively seizure resistant. We have conducted a genome-wide search for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) influencing the differential sensitivity of these strains to kainic acid (KA)-induced seizures by studying an F2 intercross population. Parental, F1, and F2 mice (8-10 weeks of...
