Abstract excerpt
Prepulse inhibition (PPI), a measure of sensorimotor gating, is reduced in schizophrenia patients and in rats treated with dopamine (DA) agonists. Reported strain and supplier-based differences in sensitivity to PPI-disruptive effects of DA agonists presumably reflect the differential impact of genetics and/or environment on DAergic substrates regulating PPI. In 2000, Harlan Laboratories established a Texas...
