Table 4. Means (SEM) startle magnitude (μV) in the PPI experiment.
INSTRUCTION | Stimulus type | Non smokers | Non abstinent smokers | Abstinent smokers |
---|---|---|---|---|
Attend | Control startle | 15.3 (12.1) | 16.5 (13.2) | 23.8 (19.1) |
Prepulse | 10.3 (9.0) | 10.0 (12.6) | 11.5 (12.4) | |
PPI* | 5.0 (10.3) | 6.4 (5.1) | 12.2 (15.9) | |
Ignore | Control startle | 14.0 (11.7) | 15.0 (11.9) | 23.1 (17.0) |
Prepulse | 10.5 (8.9) | 11.3 (13.6) | 12.5 (13.0) | |
PPI* | 3.4 (10.6) | 3.6 (6.0) | 10.5 (15.1) |
PPI was calculated as the difference score between control startle trials and prepulse trials
