Startle amplitude and fear in an acoustic startle paradigm: lesions to the brachium of the inferior colliculus or the lateral tegmental tract.

In 2 experiments, startle amplitude and startle stimulus-induced freezing (an index of fear) were measured in an acoustic startle response (ASR) paradigm in rats. Lesions to lateral tegmental tract (LTG), a pathway medial to brachium of the inferior colliculus (BIC), significantly decreased freezin...
