The neurobiology of startle

Progress in Neurobiology, 1999
Startle is a fast response to sudden, intense stimuli and probably protects the organism from injury by a predator or by a blow. The acoustic startle response (ASR) of mammals is mediated by a relatively simple neuronal circuit located in the lower brainstem.

Maturation of Startle Modulation

Psychophysiology, 1986
ABSTRACTThis study of the maturation of prestimulation‐induced modulation of startle in 3 to 8 year old children and adults demonstrated significant effects of age on both startle magnitude and onset latency. Startle was evoked by 104dB(SPL) 50‐ms bursts of white noise, and the amplitude and onset latency of the blink reflex were measured after ...

Startle as a Paradigm of Malposture

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1964
Similarities between the postural changes that take place in startle and the postural changes that accompany aging and disease support the view that malposture is an active rather than a passive phenomenon.

Is the Startle Reaction an Emotion?

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1985
Abstract Despite the wealth of information provided by Landis and Hunt’s (1939) pioneering study, emotion theorists have disagreed about whether the startle reaction is a reflex or an emotion. Bull (1951), Lindsley (1951), Plutchik (1962, later Plutchik, 1980, reserved judgment), Tomkins (1962), Wenger, F. N. Jones, and M. H.

Effects of buspirone and alprazolam treatment on the startle-potentiated startle response

Depression and Anxiety, 2004
The startle potentiated startle (SPS) paradigm has been reported to be an effective procedure for studying the conditioned enhancement of acoustic startle in the absence of electric shocks or extinction. This study examines the effects of two anxiolytic treatments, buspirone and alprazolam, on this SPS effect. Subjects were tested in the SPS paradigm 2

The Startle Museum II: Exhibits of Startle Sorted by Properties of Startle Events

1996
Abstract In my lap is a book titled Startling Experiences, published in the early 1900s. Its cover is an intense red, and the words “Startling” and “Experiences” are in flamboyant gold letters, outlined in black. The book’s title page reveals that its subject is rather more narrow than the title implies; it’s really “Startling ...

Startle and its disorders

Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2006
Exaggerated startle is an uncommon feature of various neurological diseases, but is still lacking precise analysis in many of them. So far, electrophysiologic and cinematographic analyses allow discriminating two main subtypes. The prototype of primary exaggerated startle is hereditary hyperekplexia, a well-studied disorder of the inhibitory glycine ...

AUDIOGENIC STARTLE REFLEX OF MAN AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO STARTLE SYNDROMES

Brain, 1986
The normal human audiogenic startle reflex is defined from a review of the literature, substantiated by a current investigation of normal subjects, and clarified pathophysiologically by a discussion of animal experimentation. The basic information is used to evaluate critically a variety of syndromes loosely termed 'startle' in the past.
