Prepulse inhibition in psychiatric disorders – Apart from schizophrenia

Reads0

TLDR
PPI is deficient in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (GTS), and in bipolar disorder dysfunctional PPI seems to be rather state dependent.

Mechanisms of the anorexia of aging-a review.

TL;DR: The anorexia of aging is associated with protein-energy malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, functional deterioration, morbidity, and mortality and further studies on pathophysiological mechanisms should employ accurate measurement of body fat and lean mass.

Differential Susceptibility of the Developing Brain to Contextual Adversity and Stress

TL;DR: The assertion that differential susceptibility is inherently grounded within processes of biological moderation is concluded, as the interactive and adaptive product of genetic and environmental attributes.

Prestimulus Effects on Human Startle Reflex in Normals and Schizophrenics

TL;DR: When 20 normal subjects were compared to 12 schizophrenic subjects, significant differences in eyeblink response were found for blink amplitude and latency in the 60 msec prestimulus condition, which is consistent with information processing “overload” theories of sensory overstimulation in schizophrenia.

The More or Less Startling Effects of Weak Prestimulation

TL;DR: It is proposed that, with the aid of physiological measures taken in the interval between lead and startle stimuli, this paradigm offers a promising method of investigating different levels of central processing and the operation of a short time-constant as opposed to a long time- constant system.

Gating and habituation of the startle reflex in schizophrenic patients.

TL;DR: The results indicate that schizophrenic patients have extensive deficits in both intramodal and cross-modal sensorimotor gating and a trend to show acoustic startle habituation deficits.

Neural circuit regulation of prepulse inhibition of startle in the rat: current knowledge and future challenges.

TL;DR: The understanding of the neural regulation of PPI has increased tremendously over the past 15 years, and progress has come in "broad strokes", but a number of important details and complex questions remain to be addressed.

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.
