Other newborn reflexes include the Moro reflex (aka the startle reflex), the Babinski reflex, the tonic neck reflex, the galant reflex, the stepping reflex, and the palmar grasp reflex.

The SR-LAB startle response system is the world's most popular startle reflex research tool for assessing fear-potentiated startle (FPS), pre-pulse inhibition (PPI), and startle habituation.

The startle reflex is an involuntary response to sudden stimuli, often characterized by a quick muscle contraction. This reflex can be influenced by various factors, including the complexity of ...

Ever wondered why some people get so easily startled? Here, a psychologist explains why this happens and how self-soothing can help to dampen this response. If you’re not a ‘jumpy’ person ...

Dopamine transporter knockout (DAT KO) mice display deficits in sensorimotor gating that are manifested by reduced prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex. Since PPI deficits may ...

The larvae exhibit a standard response to novel stimulation: startle reflex. The reflex consists of two main parts: short and long latency responses. The responses of 20-30 larvae were simultaneously ...
