Abstract excerpt
Fyn tyrosine kinase deficient mice are known to show increased fearfulness. We investigated the fear response of these mice using the light-potentiation of the acoustic startle response (ASR) and examined its neurochemical correlates using in vivo microdialysis. Female homozygous Fyn-deficient mice showed an enhancement of the startle amplitude under a bright light while heterozygotes and wild-types did not show...
