Correlations between individual means of startle magnitudes after PULSE alone and PREPULSE (PP) + PULSE stimuli, relative prepulse inhibition (PPI%), and the absolute prepulse inhibition (absolute PPI = startle amplitude after PULSE alone minus startle amplitude after PP + PULSE stimuli)

Correlation coefficients are shown separately for each genotype group of drug-naive mice [= mice lacking the α_2C-AR (α_2C-KO), mice overexpressing the α_2C-AR (α_2C-OE), and respective wild-type (wt) controls;n = 40–49/group]. Pearson product-moment analysis: *p <0.05; **p <0.01; ***p<0.001.
