The prevalence of tobacco smoking is known to be higher in patients with schizophrenia than other psychiatric disorders and general population. These patients also show reduced prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle response. PPI refers to a reduction in response to a strong startling stimulus if

## Abstract We tested the hypothesis that glutamate transporter GLTโ1 (also known as EAAT2) plays a role in the regulation of prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex, a simple form of information processing which is reduced in schizophrenia. To do this, we studied PPI in rats treat
It is generally recognized that during development the capacity to express learning in terms of changes in somatomotor activity is evident earlier than the capacity for learned changes in autonomic responding (e.g., heart rate). In this series of experiments, findings indicate that changes in heart
Some find developmental differences in rodent thermal nociceptive responses and others do not. To address these inconsistencies, the escape latencies of immature (5-to 25-day-old) and adult (3-to 4-month-old) albino rats were recorded following tail exposure to different intensities of radiant heat
