AUDIOGENIC STARTLE REFLEX OF MAN AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO STARTLE SYNDROMES

- Summary

Abstract

The normal human audiogenic startle reflex is defined from a review of the literature, substantiated by a current investigation of normal subjects, and clarified pathophysiologically by a discussion of animal experimentation. The basic information is used to evaluate critically a variety of syndromes loosely termed 'startle' in the past. A new classification of startle syndromes is proposed.
