Tóm tắt

Albino (cc) and non-albino (CC or Cc) mice were tested for audiogenic seizure susceptibility beginning at all of the ages from day 14 to day 21 postpartum. At every starting age the onset of first seizure was later for the albino genotype. The latency measures and day of death indicate, however, that the initial retardation is overcome by a faster subsequent development.
