Triggering and Monitoring Heat-Induced Seizures in a Transgenic Mouse Model
Source: Das, A., et al. A Behavioral Screen for Heat-Induced Seizures in Mouse Models of Epilepsy. J. Vis. Exp. (2021) This video demonstrates the procedure to induce heat-induced seizures in a transgenic mouse with epilepsy-related gene mutations by gradually increasing body temperature in a controlled chamber. This protocol is used to study seizure mechanisms and potential therapies for epilepsy.
