Contrasting effect of prepulse signals on performance of toxoplasma-infected and toxoplasma-free subjects in an acoustic reaction times test...2.7 times higher prevalence of Toxoplasma-seropositivity than controls, which suggests that some traits characteristic of schizophrenic patients, including the sex difference in schizophrenia onset, decrease of grey matter density in specific brain areas and modification of prepulse inhibition of startle reaction could in fact be caused by toxoplasmosis for those patients who are Toxoplasma-seropositive....

The effects of auditory startle and nonstartle stimuli on step initiation in parkinson's disease... We wanted to explore whether a startle reaction has a comparable effect on step initiation in PD.Methods....
