Concurrent assessment of acoustic startle and auditory P50 evoked potential measures of sensory inhibition.

Abstract:

:The acoustic startle response (ASR) and midlatency auditory evoked potentials (AEP) have been utilized in the measurement of sensory inhibition. Using these different paradigms, abnormalities suggesting a lack of normal inhibition have been noted in a number of psychiatric syndromes. To date, the most commonly used sensory inhibition paradigms have not been studied in the same individuals, making generalizations across studies tenuous. In this report, reduction of ASR over multiple trials (habituation), prepulse inhibition (PPI) of ASR (decrease in ASR caused by low intensity prepulses) and P50 suppression (P50 AEP amplitude reduction in a paired-click paradigm) were measured in the same individuals. Relationships between these measures of acoustic startle and AEP inhibition were then assessed. Twenty subjects with no personal history of psychiatric disorder were tested and exhibited significant habituation and PPI of ASR as well as P50 suppression. Habituation of ASR was significantly and positively correlated with P50 suppression early, but not late, in AEP testing. Only a modest trend for a positive association between PPI and P50 suppression was noted. Habituation and PPI of startle were both highly correlated (positively) with P50 AEP amplitude. Habituation of startle remained significantly predictive of P50 suppression after controlling for P50 amplitude, whereas the modest association between PPI and P50 suppression was removed when P50 amplitude was factored out. Results indicate that habituation of acoustic startle, but not PPI, is highly associated with P50 suppression in control subjects. An unexpected finding was a robust positive correlation between P50 amplitude and both measures of startle inhibition. These findings and methodologic issues are discussed in terms of possible neural substrates involved in different measures of sensory inhibition.
