Figure 15.
Prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response and elevated plus maze tests. Bar diagram showing the the startle amplitude (A), percentage of prepulse inhibition (B), and time spent in open arms (C) of C and MMI pups at P40. In MMI pups, both the acoustic startle response amplitude and the percentage of prepulse inhibition at 74, 82 and 90 dB prepulses decreased, while the percentage of time in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze increased and the number of transitions decreased (D). (*) and (**) indicate significant differences, P ≤ 0.05 and P ≤ 0.001, respectively.
