Neural mechanisms of emotion-modulated startle reflexes: insights from ERP and EEG oscillations [PDF]
PeerJBackground The startle reflex is an involuntary response to a sudden, highly intense stimulus. Previous research has primarily focused on the early stages of the startle reflex, specifically examining the impact of emotional pictures on early responses ...

Diagnostic Dilemma in an Infant With Sound‐Triggered Motor Events: Reflex Epilepsy Versus Exaggerated Startle—A Case Report [PDF]
Clinical Case ReportsAuditory‐triggered motor events in infancy present a significant diagnostic challenge due to overlap between epileptic and non‐epileptic startle phenomena. We report the case of a term female infant with neonatal‐onset seizures and subsequent development

Prepulse Modulation of Auditory Startle Reflex with Different Stimulus Onset Asynchronies [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Introduction: Startle reflex is measured by delivering a sensory stimulus and measuring eyelid closure in human beings to investigate the neurophysiology of information processing.

Induction of enhanced acoustic startle response by noise exposure: dependence on exposure conditions and testing parameters and possible relevance to hyperacusis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There has been a recent surge of interest in the development of animal models of hyperacusis, a condition in which tolerance to sounds of moderate and high intensities is diminished. The reasons for this decreased tolerance are likely multifactorial, but

Additive effects of threat-of-shock and picture valence on startle reflex modulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The present study examined the effects of sustained anticipatory anxiety on the affective modulation of the eyeblink startle reflex. Towards this end, pleasant, neutral and unpleasant pictures were presented as a continuous stream during alternating ...

No consistent startle modulation by reward
Scientific Reports, 2021 Previous studies have not clearly demonstrated whether motivational tendencies during reward feedback are mainly characterized by appetitive responses to a gain or mainly by aversive consequences of reward omission.

Reflex Epilepsy in Children: Clinical, Electroencephalographic and Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings [PDF]
International Journal of Medical Arts, 2023 Background: Reflex epilepsy is an epileptic event precipitated by external stimuli such as flashes of light or internal mental process like thinking or calculation and/or associated with photo-paroxysmal response on electroencephalogram [EEG].The Aim of ...

Whole-body prepulse inhibition protocol to test sensorymotor gating mechanisms in monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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.
