No gender difference in the generation of febrile seizures in rat pups. A The latencies to the generation of FSs did not significantly differ in male and female pups (n = 8 for both groups). B Male pups had threshold temperatures similar to female pups for the onset of FSs (n = 8 for both groups). C, D Hippocampal EEG recordings from freely moving male (C) and female (D) pups. Normal discharges before FSs were replaced by epileptiform discharges after FSs. A nonparametric test was used for the analysis of latency to and threshold of FS generation.
