behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit robust spike wave discharge (SWD) with high amplitude, significant duration, high frequency, and a burst frequency of 7 to 9 Hz
• SWD occurs between periods of locomotor activity and cause immobility except for occasional whisker twitching
• the average incidence of SWD is higher Scn8amed heterozygotes
• ethosuximide treatment results in 6-fold fewer and shorter SWD
• the number of SWD per hour decreases with additional crosses to C57BL/6 mice
• mice exhibit fewer SWD compared to homozygous mice
