  1. *Number of mice was 10 for each group, except group 5 that had 9 mice.
  2. †Reduced odds of convulsing vs not convulsing for any infusion time, x min, were calculated using the formula: 1 - (0.974x) × 100%; where 0.974 was the odds ratio estimate obtained from logistic regression analysis, and x = infusion time (min).
