Prepulse inhibition of the startle response is defined as the inhibition of the startle reflex to
an intense contextual stimulus (named pulse) when a weaker stimulus (named prepulse) …

Responses to a sensory stimulus are inhibited by a preceding stimulus; if the two stimuli are
identical, paired-pulse suppression (PPS) occurs; if the preceding stimulus is too weak to …

Startle modulation paradigms, namely habituation and prepulse inhibition (PPI), can offer
insight into the brain's early information processing mechanisms that might be impacted by …

Introduction Acoustic prepulse inhibition of the startle response (PPI) is a phenomenon
characterized by the reduction in the startle reflex caused by the presence of weak and brief …

Hormonal contraceptives are among the most widely used drugs by young healthy women
to block ovulation and avoid pregnancy. They reduce the ovarian secretion of estradiol and …

Introduction Startle habituation and prepulse inhibition (PPI) are distinct measures of
different sensory information processes, yet both result in the attenuation of the startle reflex …

Objective We aimed to analyze prepulse inhibition (PPI) impairment of the blink reflex in
patients with primary blepharospasm (BSP). Methods We recruited 30 BSP patients and 20 …

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is a measure of sensorimotor gating which is widely used in
rodents to study information processing and attention dysfunction. PPI is commonly …

Objective Auditory and somatosensory prepulses are commonly used to assess prepulse
inhibition (PPI). The effect of a vestibular prepulse upon blink reflex excitability has not been …

Many things need to be considered when examining personality. Each of us has our own
unique personality, and this is evident in everyday life, in what we think about certain …
