  Subject Areas on Research

  • Animals lacking endothelin-converting enzyme-2 are deficient in learning and memory. 
  • Differential effects of the antidepressant mirtazapine on amphetamine- and dizocilpine-induced PPI deficits. 
  • Effects of unexpected changes in visual scenes on the human acoustic startle response and prepulse inhibition. 
  • Meclizine enhancement of sensorimotor gating in healthy male subjects with high startle responses and low prepulse inhibition. 
  • PPI deficit induced by amphetamine is attenuated by the histamine H1 antagonist pyrilamine, but is exacerbated by the serotonin 5-HT2 antagonist ketanserin. 
  • Regulation of sensorimotor gating via Disc1/Huntingtin-mediated Bdnf transport in the cortico-striatal circuit. 
  • Role of nicotinic receptors in the lateral habenula in the attenuation of amphetamine-induced prepulse inhibition deficits of the acoustic startle response in rats. 
  • The effect of nicotine and trauma context on acoustic startle in smokers with and without posttraumatic stress disorder. 
  • The functions of nonsuicidal self-injury: support for cognitive-affective regulation and opponent processes from a novel psychophysiological paradigm.
