Journal ArticleDOI
Committee report: Guidelines for human startle eyeblink electromyographic studies.
Terry D. Blumenthal,Bruce N. Cuthbert,Diane L. Filion,Steven A. Hackley,Ottmar V. Lipp,Anton van Boxtel +5 more
TL;DR: Qualitative issues are raised and recommendations for optimal methods of startle blink electromyographic (EMG) response elicitation, recording, quantification, and reporting are presented.
Book ChapterDOI
Short Lead Interval Startle Modification
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effects of lead stimulus presentation or change on startle responding, when those lead stimuli are presented within a few hundred milliseconds of the startle stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
For whom the bell (curve) tolls: Cortisol rapidly affects memory retrieval by an inverted U-shaped dose–response relationship
Thomas M. Schilling,Monika Kölsch,Mauro F. Larra,Carina M. Zech,Terry D. Blumenthal,Christian Frings,Hartmut Schächinger +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first study in humans demonstrating that cortisol rapidly modulates declarative memory retrieval via a dose-dependent, non-genomic mechanism that follows an inverted U-shaped curve, and emphasizes the importance of fast cortisol effects for human cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulus rise time, intensity, and bandwidth effects on acoustic startle amplitude and probability
TL;DR: Data show that the startle response can reflect manipulations of stimulus bandwidth, intensity, and rise/fall time, and that startle amplitude and probability reflect these manipulations in different ways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of the human startle response is affected by both prepulse intensity and eliciting stimulus intensity
TL;DR: The data show that the inhibition of startle can be affected by eliciting stimulus intensity, and that startle response amplitude and probability are affected by stimulus intensity changes in different ways.
