Somatic and neuroendocrine responses to standard and biologically salient acoustic startle stimuli in monkeys.
The startle response, a simple defensive response to a sudden stimulus signaling proximal threat, has been well studied in rodents and humans, but has been rarely examined in monkeys. The first goal of the present studies was to develop a minimally immobilizing startle measurement paradigm and validate its usefulness by testing two core features of the startle response (habituation and graded r...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of human visual cortex in response to spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli
ABSTRACT Background: The brain response to temporal frequencies (TF) has been already reported, but with no study reported for different TF with respect to various spatial frequencies (SF). Materials and Methods: fMRI was performed by 1.5T GE-system in 14 volunteers during checkerboard, with TFs of 4, 6, 8 and 10Hz in low and high SFs of 0.5 and 8cpd. Results: Average percentage BOLD signa...
متن کاملMonoamine oxidase A knockout mice exhibit impaired nicotine preference but normal responses to novel stimuli.
Nicotine is thought to act on brain monoamine systems that normally mediate diverse motivational behaviors. How monoamine-related genes contribute to behavioral traits (e.g. responses to novel stimuli) comorbid with the susceptibility to nicotine addiction is still poorly understood. We examined the impact of constitutive monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) deficiency in mice on nicotine reward and resp...
متن کاملMotivationally significant stimuli show visual prior entry: evidence for attentional capture.
Previous studies that have found attentional capture effects for stimuli of motivational significance do not directly measure initial attentional deployment, leaving it unclear to what extent these items produce attentional capture. Visual prior entry, as measured by temporal order judgments (TOJs), rests on the premise that allocated attention accelerates perception, that is, stimuli that rece...
متن کاملVisual preference for social stimuli in individuals with autism or neurodevelopmental disorders: an eye-tracking study
BACKGROUND Recent research has identified differences in relative attention to competing social versus non-social video stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Whether attentional allocation is influenced by the potential threat of stimuli has yet to be investigated. This is manipulated in the current study by the extent to which the stimuli are moving towards or moving past...
