Fig. 1. Effect of i.p. kainate (15 mg/kg) on behavior and survival rate. The mice (n = 6 to 11) in control groups without kainate never reached the scores of 6 or 7 (panel A.) during the behavioral analysis (evaluation using an ad­apted version of Morrison's Seizure Rating Scale (Morrison et al., 1996, as described in Dibué-Adjei et al., 2017). Panel B shows changes in latency time depending on different KA injections. None of the mice died during the 2 hour observation period. Only after kainate injection mice died after reaching stage number 8 (panel C.).
