Offset-induced audiogenic seizures

C S Chen et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

A relatively stereotyped seizure reaction can be triggered by the "offset" of an intense bell sound in C57BL/6J mice. Susceptibility to this offset-induced audiogenic seizure was found to depend upon the age of the animals tested (higher in older mice) and the duration of the noise exposure (more effective with longer exposure).
