| Trial | Description |
|---|---|
| Pulse alone trials | 20 msec in duration of 120 dB intensity white-noise. |
| Prepulse trials | 20 msec prepulses of 73 dB, 76 dB and 82 dB intensities. |
| Prepulse–pulse trials | 20 msec prepulses (73 dB, 76 dB and 82 dB) presented before the onset of pulse-alone stimuli. |
| NOSTIM trials | No stimuli, but mouse movements are recorded as a measure of basal motor activity in the cylinder. |
