Conceptualising quality early childhood education: Learning from young children in Brazil and South Africa through creative and play‐based methods

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

A model-based quantification of startle reflex habituation in larval zebrafish

Scientific Reports, 2021
Zebrafish is an established animal model for the reproduction and study of neurobiological pathogenesis of human neurological conditions. The ‘startle reflex’ in zebrafish larvae is an evolutionarily preserved defence response, manifesting as a quick ...

A genetically identified population of layer 4 neurons in auditory cortex that contributes to pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
A fundamental task faced by the auditory system is the detection of events that are signaled by fluctuations in sound. Spiking in auditory cortical neurons is critical for sound detection, but the causal roles of specific cell types and circuits are ...

Principles of Electrophysiological Assessments for Movement Disorders [PDF]

Journal of Movement Disorders, 2020
Electrophysiological studies can provide objective and quantifiable assessments of movement disorders. They are useful in the diagnosis of hyperkinetic movement disorders, particularly tremors and myoclonus.

Effects of melatonin on startle reflex in rat [PDF]

Peptides, 1981
In two experiments the effects of melatonin were investigated on the motor, cardiac and emotional components of the startle reflex induced by an intense acoustic stimulus. Melatonin inhibited the motor movements and significantly decreased the HR responses of rats pretested with these procedures.

Delays in the Reticulospinal System Are Associated With a Reduced Capacity to Learn a Simulated Feeding Task in Older Adults

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
Learning declines with age. Recent evidence indicates that the brainstem may play an important role in learning and motor skill acquisition. Our objective was to determine if delays in the reticular formation, measured via the startle reflex, correspond ...

Greater general startle reflex is associated with greater anxiety levels: a correlational study on 111 young women

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
Startle eyeblink reflex is a valid non-invasive tool for studying attention, emotion and psychiatric disorders. In the absence of any experimental manipulation, the general (or baseline) startle reflex shows a high inter-individual variability, which is ...

The startle reflex as an indicator of psychopathic personality from childhood to adulthood: A systematic review

Acta Psychologica, 2021
The startle reflex has been suggested to operate as a psychophysiological marker of psychopathic personality, based on findings from studies using a range of different methodologies and participant samples.

Startle-triggered responses indicate reticulospinal drive is larger for voluntary shoulder versus finger movements

Scientific Reports, 2023
Recent primate studies have implicated a substantial role of reticulospinal pathways in the production of various voluntary movements. A novel way to assess the relative reticulospinal contributions in humans is through the use of a “StartReact” paradigm
