Prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle reflex as a function of the frequency difference between prepulse and background sounds in mice.
Prepulse inhibition (PPI) depicts the effects of a weak sound preceding strong acoustic stimulus on acoustic startle response (ASR). Previous studies suggest that PPI is influenced by physical parameters of prepulse sound such as intensity and preceding time. The present study characterizes the impa...
