Figure 1 Brain structures involved in the mechanisms of the acoustic startle response and its prepulse inhibition. Black bar: Main intensive stimulus (pulse); Grey bar: Preceding weak stimulus (prepulse); Triangle: Amplitude of startle response; White wide arrow: Protection of prepulse processing; Black wide arrow: Protection of main stimulus (pulse) processing. Data obtained in humans and rodents using lesion, stimulation and neuroimaging techniques are summarized[4,5,14-17,45,48]. PPI: Prepulse inhibition; ASR: Acoustic startle response.
