Heritability of startle reactivity and affect modified startle [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Psychophysiology, 2017
Startle reflex and affect-modified startle reflex are used as indicators of defensive reactivity and emotional processing, respectively. The present study investigated the heritability of both the startle blink reflex and affect modification of this reflex in a community sample of 772 twins ages 14-15years old.

Peritraumatic startle response predicts the vulnerability to develop PTSD-like behaviors in rats: a model for peritraumatic dissociation

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Peritraumatic dissociation, a state characterized by alteration in perception and reduced awareness of surroundings, is considered to be a risk factor for the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Evidence for Prepulse Inhibition of Visually Evoked Motor Response in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is a widely investigated behavior to study the mechanisms of disorders such as anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar mania. PPI has been observed across various vertebrate and invertebrate species; however, it has not yet been ...

An Unusual Startling

open access: yesIndian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 2015
Hyperekplexia is a rare movement disorder, which is mostly of genetic origin; though acquired cases are rarely reported. This disorder is characterized by excessive startling response to external stimuli; this can be disenabling, affecting quality-of-life. Furthermore, it can easily be mistaken for an epileptic disorder.

Repeated elicitation of the acoustic startle reflex leads to sensitisation in subsequent avoidance behaviour and induces fear conditioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Autonomous reflexes enable animals to respond quickly to potential threats, prevent injury and mediate fight or flight responses. Intense acoustic stimuli with sudden onsets elicit a startle reflex while stimuli of similar intensity but with ...

The complex interaction between anxiety and cognition: Insight from spatial and verbal working memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Anxiety can be distracting, disruptive, and incapacitating. Despite problems with empirical replication of this phenomenon, one fruitful avenue of study has emerged from working memory (WM) experiments where a translational method of anxiety induction ...
