Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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 startle probe response: A new measure of emotion?
TL;DR: The startle probe was proposed as a broadly useful tool for studying emotion, its development and modification, and for the assessment of pathological anxiety by as discussed by the authors, who presented 20 undergraduate subjects with unsignaled 50-ms white noise bursts (95 dB) to probe their perceptual processing while viewing 36 colored photographic slides, depicting pleasant/ interesting, neutral/dull, or unpleasant/interesting scenes and objects.

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
The acoustic startle response in rats--circuits mediating evocation, inhibition and potentiation.
TL;DR: The ASR may be a valuable model for the study of general principles of sensorimotor-motivational information processing at the behavioral and neurophysiological level in mammals.

An inhibitory mechanism in the bulbar reticular formation
H. W. Magoun,R. Rhines +1 more
TL;DR: In the experiments to be reported, this inhibitory influence has been demonstrated by observing the effect of bulbar stimulation upon reflexes, upon decerebrate rigidity and upon responses evoked from the motor cortex.
