Mice between 1 and 2 months old were injected intraperitoneally with PTZ at a dose of 30 mg/kg and were observed for 30 min. Latencies to myoclonic and GTCS were recorded. The susceptibility to PTZ-induced seizures was assessed by survival cure. Mantel-Cox method was used for statistics. The experimenter was blind to the genotypes.
