Acoustic startle threshold of the albino rat (Rattus norvegicus).

P K Pilz, H U Schnitzler, D Menne.   

Abstract

The startle threshold of the albino Sprague-Dawley rat runs parallel to the curve of the hearing threshold. The difference between the startle and hearing threshold is 87 dB (SPL) at a background noise level of 75 dB (SPL). At 110 dB (SPL), the threshold has a range from 2 kHz to 50 kHz with a minimum at 10 kHz and a second minimum at 40 kHz. Amplitude and latency of the startle response are not only dependent on the sensation level of the acoustic stimulus but also on the frequency. At threshold, only the head movement component of the startle response is elicited.
