Effects of experimental context and explicit threat cues on acoustic startle in Vietnam veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder.
BACKGROUND The hypothesis that exaggerated startle in Vietnam veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reflects an anxiogenic response to stressful contexts was tested. METHODS Thirty-four nonmedicated Vietnam veterans with PTSD, and 17 combat and 14 civilian non-PTSD controls participated in two testing sessions over separate days. Acoustic startle stimuli were delivered alone or i...
متن کاملKnocking Down the DRD2 by shRNA Expressing Plasmids in the Nucleus Accumbens Prevented the Disrupting Effect of Apomorphine on Prepulse Inhibition in Rat
Prepulse Inhibition (PPI), the objective measure of sensorimotor gating disturbance has being widely used in animal models of schizophrenia. Dopaminergic direct and indirect agonists impair PPI. However, the profile of dopaminergic receptors involved in PPI impairment by dopamine agonists is not clear. By injecting shRNA expressing plasmids against dopamine D2 receptor genes (DRD2) in the nucle...
متن کاملRepetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Ameliorates Anxiety-Like Behavior and Impaired Sensorimotor Gating in a Rat Model of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
BACKGROUND Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been employed for decades as a non-pharmacologic treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although a link has been suggested between PTSD and impaired sensorimotor gating (SG), studies assessing the effects of rTMS against PTSD or PTSD with impaired SG are scarce. AIM To assess the benefit of rTMS in a rat model of...
متن کاملEffective neuroleptic medication removes prepulse inhibition deficits in schizophrenia patients.
BACKGROUND The magnitude of the startle eyeblink response is reduced if the startle eliciting stimulus is shortly preceded by another stimulus. There is evidence that schizophrenia patients exhibit impairments in this so-called prepulse inhibition. Our study investigated whether prepulse inhibition is affected by neuroleptic drug treatment as is suggested by animal research. METHODS Prepulse ...
متن کاملA Neural Network Model of Prepulse Inhibition
The authors introduce a real-time model of acoustic prepulse inhibition (PPI) and facilitation (PPF) in animals and humans. The model incorporates excitatory and facilitatory pathways activated by the positive value of changes in noise level in the environment and an inhibitory pathway activated by the absolute value of changes in noise level. Whereas excitation and facilitation are exponential...
