Caused or produced by sound; especially referring to seizures triggered by auditory stimuli or sounds.
From audio (from Latin 'audire,' to hear) plus -genic (produced by). A medical and scientific term that emerged in the 20th century, particularly in neurology and animal behavior research.
Audiogenic seizures in rats were actually studied to understand epilepsy—scientists discovered that certain genetic strains of rats would seize at specific sound frequencies, creating an animal model for human neurological conditions.
