Fear-conditioning to unpredictable threats reveals sex differences in rat fear-potentiated startle (FPS)

2023-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Fear-potentiated startle (FPS) has been widely used to study fear processing in humans and rodents. Human studies have shown higher startle amplitudes and exaggerated fear reactivity to unpredictable vs. predictable threats in individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
