Notes

This mutation blocks audiogenic seizures. DBA/1Bg-ras was one of several seizure resistant strains tested for encephalographic correlates of seizures. Seizure prone strains are subject to convulsions during exposure to intense noise, while resistant strains are not, but neither group showed spike wave or paroxysmal activity in brain wave recordings (J:16802).
