Description

The startle response is a brainstem reflex elicited by an unexpected acoustic or tactile stimulus.

The evaluation of startle reflex response (and its habituation) to acoustic or tactile stimulus of different intensities is widely used for the detection of sensorimotor gating and hearing deficiencies in phenotyping evaluations.
