The neurobiology of startle.

TL;DR: The neuronal basis underlying the mediation of the AsR, as well as the neuronal and neurochemical substrates of different phenomena of enhancement and attenuation of the ASR are described to elucidate the biological background of these forms of behavioral plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A primary acoustic startle circuit: lesion and stimulation studies

TL;DR: The data suggest that a primary acoustic startle circuit in the rat consists of auditory nerve, ventral cochlear nucleus, nuclei of the lateral lemniscus, nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis, spinal interneuron, lower motor neuron, and muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The search for the engram

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on learning and memory and its neural bases and examines the ways in which temporal, logical, and qualitative relationships between stimuli (CS and US) influence learning.

The Mammalian Startle Response

TL;DR: It would be useful to study a relatively simple behavior that can be elicited in mammals and that is sensitive to a variety of experimental treatments to approach the problem at this level.
