behavior/neurological
• mice have a low threshold to electroconvulsive clonic seizures. i.e. when stimulated transcorneally for minimal seizures, mice respond not with minimal, but with intense seizure

behavior/neurological
• mutants appear to have a low threshold to electroconvulsive clonic seizures. i.e. when stimulated transcorneally for minimal seizures, the majority of mice respond not with minimal, but with intense seizure
• rearing, forelimb clonus and jaw clonus, and/or tonic hind limb extension defined the intensity of the seizure as high

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mutants begin to display spontaneous generalized seizures starting at P16, most being myoclonic jerks, a few generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and one mouse showing partial motor seizure
• generalized seizures are periodically followed by tonic extension of the hindlimbs
• mutants show a few generalized tonic-clonic seizures

mortality/aging
• 47% of mutants survive for more than 100 days
• sporadic death begins to occur at P19, with 42% mortality by P25
