Whole-body prepulse inhibition protocol to test sensorymotor gating mechanisms in monkeys.

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is the decrease of startle reflex amplitude when a slight stimulus is previously generated. This paradigm may provide valuable information about sensorimotor gating functionality. Here we aimed at determining the inhibited and uninhibited startle response of capuchin monkey...
