Nicotine receptors mediating sensorimotor gating and its enhancement by systemic nicotine

Nicotine receptors mediating sensorimotor gating and its enhancement by systemic nicotine

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle occurs when intensity stimuli precede stronger startle-inducing stimuli by 10-1000 milliseconds. PPI deficits are found in individuals with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, and they correlate with other cognitive impairments. Animal research and cli...
