Various animals show spontaneous epilepsy or seizures that can be readily induced by sensory stimulation (see Jobe et al. 1991). Tottering mice display seizures that resemble absence attacks behaviourally, in their EEG pattern and response to drugs. DBA/2 mice show reflex seizures to audiogenic stimuli while photically-induced seizures can be obtained in the Senegalese baboon, Papiopapio, which are similar to generalised tonic-clonic epilepsy.

The laboratory instrument built for measuring weight is called the balance. The name is derived from mechanical devices that utilize known weights to balance the object to be weighed across a fulcrum, like a teeter-totter. Most balances in use today are electronic, rather than mechanical, balances. An electronic balance is one that uses an electromagnet to balance the object to be weighed on a single pan. The older...
