Seizure resistance in albino gerbils.
Albino gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) and their agouti litter mates were tested once per week for 10-16 weeks for spontaneous epileptiform seizures when transferred to a novel environment. Only 16% of the albinos had seizures compared with 41% among the agoutis (P less than 0-05).
