Abstract excerpt
The startle response to intense environmental stimuli is found in most, if not all, animal species. Previous studies have shown that selected rodent strains differ in startle response to an acoustic stimulus, suggesting genetic variability. The current experiment was designed to extend these differences to a wider range of rat strains. Forty-six inbred and outbred rat strains were studied. These strains exhibited...
