The amplitude of the acoustic startle response (ASR) is markedly reduced when the startle
eliciting pulse is preceded by a weak, non-startling stimulus at an appropriate lead time …

The startle reflex is inhibited when the startling stimulus is preceded 30–500 ms by a weak
noise or 'prepulse'. While the primary startle circuit is organized at or below the pons, the …

The midbrain is essential for prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex, but the exact
neural circuits for PPI are not yet determined. Electrical stimulation of the superior colliculus …

Rationale: Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex occurs when brief, non-startling
tactile, acoustic or visual stimuli are presented 20–500 ms before the startling stimulus …

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle is impaired in schizophrenics, which suggests they have
disturbances in circuitry that controls PPI. How activity in forebrain circuitry is communicated …

The acoustic startle reflex is inhibited by the presentation of a weak auditory prestimulus 30–
500 ms prior to the startling stimulus. Previous studies have demonstrated that prepulse …

It has been shown that the acoustic startle reflex is inhibited by weak auditory prepulses
presented 30–500 ms prior to the startling stimulus and that this prepulse inhibition (PPI) is …

The startle response is a useful behavioural model to assess drug effects on sensorimotor
information processing in the mammalian central nervous system. Prepulse inhibition of the …

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex occurs when a weak auditory stimulus
is presented 30–500 ms before the startling stimulus. Previous studies have shown that PPF …

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle response is observed when the startling
noise pulse is preceded by a weak, non-startling stimulus. PPI has been considered as a …
