Abstract excerpt
We examined the regulation of the acoustic startle response in mutant mice of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)- and delta-subtypes of the glutamate receptor (GluR) channel, which play important roles in neural plasticity in the forebrain and the cerebellum, respectively. Heterozygous mutant mice with reduced GluRepsilon2 subunits of the NMDA receptor showed strongly enhanced startle responses to acoustic stimuli....
