Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle response is disrupted in NVHL animals. A, NVHL animals (n=21) showed a lower percent prepulse inhibition (extent to which the prepulse signal was able to inhibit the subsequent startle response to a 120 dB startle stimulus occurring 100 ms later) than sham-treated animals (n=27). This NVHL deficit was present across two different prepulse intensities, as shown. B, The acoustic startle response itself (startle to the 120 dB stimulus alone) was unchanged in NVHL animals. Startle amplitude is depicted in arbitrary units. *p < .05, NVHL vs. sham.
