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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurochemical modulation of sensory-motor reactivity: acoustic and tactile startle reflexes.
TL;DR: The present review argues that the startle reflex is particularly well suited as a model system to analyze how drugs alter stimulus reactivity and reflex excitability and that drugs or lesions that are thought to alter neurochemical transmitter systems affect acoustic and/or tactile startle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral studies following lesions of the mesolimbic and mesostriatal serotonergic pathways.
TL;DR: These experiments suggest that the mesolimbic serotonergic pathway originating in B8 subserves some of the inhibition necessary to dampen behavioral responsivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tactile, acoustic and vestibular systems sum to elicit the startle reflex
TL;DR: Cross-modal summation is stronger than intramodal temporal summation, suggesting that the convergence of acoustic, vestibular and tactile information is important for eliciting startle.

Statistical Principles in Experimental Design
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the principles of estimation and inference: means and variance, means and variations, and means and variance of estimators and inferors, and the analysis of factorial experiments having repeated measures on the same element.

TL;DR: Although a relatively weak signal could inhibit the reaction to a subsequently presented intense signal, the effect was independent of the frequency characteristics of either signal.
