behavior/neurological
• mice at P120 exhibit a discharge that starts with two or more consecutive spikes and/or waves and occurs with an irregular periodicity and a high frequency, features resembling polyspike-and-wave discharges
• spontaneous polyspike-and-wave discharges and myoclonic seizures are very infrequent compared with the SWDs
• spontaneous polyspike-and-wave discharges are more frequent at P120 than P35
• seizures in P120 mutants occur with a higher probability at shorter latencies after PTZ injection than in wild-type mice
• 10% of polyspike-and-wave discharges are associated with visible myoclonic jerks
• spontaneous polyspike-and-wave discharges and myoclonic seizures are very infrequent compared with the SWDs
• one spontaneous generalized tonic-clonic seizure was recorded in one P120 mouse
• mice exhibit absence-like seizures at P35 and P120
• mice exhibit abundant spike-wave discharges (SWDs) at P35 and P120
• each SWD consists of very rhythmic, 6-8 Hz spikes, positive transients, and waves
• SWDs are associated with behavioral arrest
