Acoustic Startle Response Test
Objective: Measurement of acoustic startle response and habituation to repeated acoustic stimuli in transgenic mice
This is a Acoustic Startle Response Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2006 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Acoustic Startle Response Testing
Mice were exposed to repeated acoustic stimuli to measure startle response and habituation
Note: The test measured both the magnitude of acoustic startle response and the degree of habituation to repeated stimuli
