A Method for Simultaneous Evaluation of Muscular and Neural Prepulse Inhibition

A Method for Simultaneous Evaluation of Muscular and Neural Prepulse Inhibition

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) test has been widely used to evaluate sensorimotor gating. In humans, deficits in this mechanism are measured through the orbicularis muscle response using electromyography (EMG). Although this mechanism can be modulated by several brain structures and is impaired in some p...
