Modification of the acoustic startle response in hearing-impaired C57BL/6J mice: prepulse augmentation and prolongation of prepulse inhibition
Abstract
Modification of acoustic startle amplitude by a 10-ms tone prepulse (S1) was evaluated as a function of the interstimulus interval (ISI) between the onset of S1 and the onset of the startle-evoking stimulus (S2). Subjects were normal-hearing 1-month-old C57BL/6J (C57) mice and CBA/CaJ mice and 5-month-old C57 mice with high-frequency hearing loss. With a 2-ms ISI, 5-month-old C57 mice (but not the normal-hearing mice) exhibited pronounced prepulse augmentation (PPA) of startle: Amplitudes were much larger when S1 was present. Prepulse inhibition (PPI) occurred with ISIs of 10-100 ms in all subject groups. With long ISIs of 200 and 500 ms, however, PPI was strong only in 5-month-old C57 mice and only with S1 frequencies of 8, 12, and 16 kHz. Physiological studies of neural plasticity have shown that frequencies of 8-16 kHz become "over-represented" (more neurons responding) in the central auditory system of C57 mice, suggesting a link with prolonged PPI observed here.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
