Pheno Term
(PhenoID)
Pheno Definition Experimental Paradigm
Absence seizures
(AM1400000)
Impairment of consciousness without convulsions associated with sudden behavioral arrest and widespread bilaterally synchronous spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Electroencephalogram (EEG): signature of seizure/epilepsy
(AM1400001)
Characteristic epileptiformic electroencephalographic (EEG) activity pattern of rhythmic and rapid fluctuation of electrical potential between parts of the brain Observation of chemically induced seizures; Electroencephalogram (EEG); Field potential recordings
Seizure threshold
(AM1400002)
Threshold to induction of seizure activity response by an agent or rise in body temperature,that normally can induce uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, producing a physical convulsion or minor change in physical behavior Observation of chemically induced seizures; General observations; Observation of thermally induced seizures; Observation of sensory-evoked seizures; Observation of electrically induced seizures; Maximal electroconvulsive seizure threshold test; Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Seizures
(AM1400003)
Sudden and often acute manifestation of epileptic attack, sometimes convulsive Electroencephalogram (EEG); Electrocorticogram (ECoG); General observations; Audiogenic Seizure test; Observation of seizures; Observation of chemically induced seizures; Observation of hyperthermia induced seizures; Maximal electroconvulsive seizure threshold test; Survival analysis; Morris water maze test; Balance beam test; Tail suspension test; Acoustic startle reflex test; Electroencephalogram/electromyogram (EEG/EMG)
