Audiogenic seizure susceptibility in the normally seizure-resistant Long-Evans rat may result from altered processing in the auditory pathway. Representative waveform latencies of the auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were recorded to examine generator alterations at different levels of the auditory neuraxis. Male Long-Evans rats primed for audiogenic seizures (AGS) on PND 14 with a 10 kHz pure tone at 120 dB SPL for 8 min were tested for AGS on PND 28 with 120 dB SPL continuous white noise. Primed subjects displayed wild running culminating in clonic convulsions. Following behavioral testing at 4-6 months, vertex recordings of ABR waves Ia-VI were made in anesthetized subjects using pure tone stimulus bursts. AGS subjects showed marginally elevated ABR thresholds. Shorter ABR wave latencies were elicited in AGS subjects for peripheral and central auditory components with stimulus intensities above 50 dB PeSPL at 8 and 40 kHz. Interpeak intervals were reduced for waves Ia-V and III-V in AGS subjects. These results reveal that intense sound stimulation during a sensitive period of development later reduces processing time at higher intensity levels.
