Adjustment of the data acquisition window for the assessment of sensorimotor gating mechanisms in rodents

The acoustic startle reflex (ASR) is a short and intense defensive reaction in response to a loud and unexpected acoustic stimulus. The ASR can be modulated through sensorimotor gating processes, such as prepulse inhibition (PPI), a neurological phenomenon in which a weak pre-stimulus inhibits the r...
