The studies are fascinating and the outcomes often startling.
Neural systems involved in fear and anxiety measured with fear-potentiated startle.
Fear-potentiated startle is another measure that may be used with even very young children, and could shed light on the development of stress neurobiology.
Lesions of the amygdala, but not of the cerebellum, block conditioned fear measured with the potentiated startle paradigm.
Even if attention is restricted just to vision, the diversity among perceptibles is startling.
Based on animal studies, increased startle responses are postulated to represent an increase in amygdala function.
Involvement of the dorsal periaqueductal gray in the loss of fear potentiated startle accompanied by high foot shock training.
The sudden open space after the road walk was startling and made my presence feel insignificant.
