Neonatal ZIKV infection induces seizures in young mice and increases susceptibility to chemically induced seizures in adult mice. (A) Percentage of ZIKV-infected animals with seizures in each litter (n = 4 litters per time point). (B) Representative electroencephalographic recordings obtained from one mock-infected mouse at 12 dpi. (C to K) Representative electroencephalographic recordings performed in brains of ZIKV-infected mice at 12 dpi (n = 2 mock and n = 4 ZIKV). (L to O) Time to first seizure and number of seizures for male [(L and M); n = 7 mock and n = 5 ZIKV] and female [(N and O); n = 7 mock and n = 6 ZIKV] mice after an intraperitoneal injection of PTZ at 100 to 110 dpi. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. In (L), *P = ; in (M), *P = ; in (N), *P = ; in (O), *P = ; ZIKV versus mock, Student’s t test. L1 and L2, electrodes in left hemisphere; R1 and R2, electrodes in right hemisphere.
