Startle modulation in children with posttraumatic stress disorder
Abstract
Startle responses to bursts of white noise were recorded as blink reflexes 17-21 months after a traumatic event in six children with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and in six normal control children. A seventh child with PTSD was studied on four occasions during the 2 years following a stressful event. The startle responses were modulated by nonstartling acoustic prestimulation in order to study the inhibitory and facilitatory modulation of startle reaction by brainstem mechanisms. The children with PTSD experienced a significant loss of the normal inhibitory modulation of startle response, suggesting that the traumatic experience had induced a long-lasting brainstem dysfunction.

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.
