Abstract:
:A broad definition of sensory gating refers to the ability of the brain to modulate its sensitivity to incoming sensory stimuli. This definition allows the concept of gating to include both the capacities to minimize or stop responding to incoming irrelevant stimuli (gating out) and to respond when a novel stimulus is presented or a change occurs in ongoing stimuli (gating in). In order to further characterize the function of sensory gating, we examined the attenuation (decreased responding) and augmentation (increased responding) of the P50 EP amplitudes in 22 normal volunteers. Three EP paradigms, each including a number of conditions, designed to examine both EP habituation (inhibition) and dishabituation (excitation) were administered to each subject. In conditions designed to examine habituation (identical pairs of clicks or trains of repetitive identical clicks), the P50 behaved, as expected, with decrease of the amplitude with repetition. In conditions designed to examine dishabituation the amplitude of the P50, EP did not decrease as much (and frequently increased) with stimulus change. The results suggest that the P50 EP is sensitive to the effects of stimulus repetition and stimulus change and can be used to study the different aspects of sensory gating.
