Abstract

Relationships between the predispositions to pendulum movements (PMs), catalepsy, and audiogenic epilepsy in the course of breeding for “nervousness” and freezing have been studied. A positive genetic relationship between PMs, catalepsy, and audiogenic epilepsy has been demonstrated. Eighty to ninety percent of rats selected for enhanced PMs (strain PM+) exhibit predisposition to audiogenic seizures, whereas this frequency in the PM-free strain (PM-) is 10–40%.
