Audiogenic Seizure Prone (asp): A Gene Affecting Behavior in Linkage Group VIII of the Mouse

Robert L. Collins 1 and John L. Fuller 1

The incidence of initial audiogenic seizures in mice from crosses between a susceptible and a resistant inbred strain is attributable to the effects of a single pair of alleles. The locus responsible for this behavioral variation is located in Linkage Group VIII of the mouse. Sensitization-dependent convulsions are influenced in whole or in part by alleles at an independent locus.
