Abstract excerpt
Sensorimotor gating, measured by prepulse inhibition (PPI), is a fundamental form of information processing that is deficient in schizophrenia patients and mice lacking the gene for metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). Both breeding strategies and mothering behaviors are capable of influencing the behavioral phenotype of knockout (KO) mice. Previous studies found a PPI deficit and increased startle...
