Low baseline startle and deficient affective startle modulation in remitted bipolar disorder patients and their unaffected siblingsStella G Giakoumaki
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Crete, Heraklion 71003, Greece
Psychophysiology 47:659-68. 2010..Low startle and blunted startle reactivity may represent trait deficits in remitted BD patients and their relatives, possibly associated with attentional deficits and adaptive down-regulation of emotion...
The dopamine D(3) receptor Ser9Gly polymorphism modulates prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflexPanos Roussos
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Crete, Heraklion, Greece
Biol Psychiatry 64:235-40. 2008..The Ser9Gly polymorphism is a common variant of the DRD(3) gene and determines the gain of function of the D(3) receptor. This is the first study to examine the influence of the DRD(3) Ser9Gly polymorphism on human PPI...
