Description:
In summary, reflex modification of the startle response is a technique that can provide rapid, objective, and quantitative assessments of sensorimotor function. dvantages of this technique involve the ability to test animals rapidly, test without prior training, test without utilizing invasive procedures, and provide objective, independent estimates of both sensory and motor functioning. eflex modification techniques hold great potential for use in neurotoxicology in both the identification and characterization of neurotoxic chemicals.
