Enduring sensorimotor gating abnormalities following predator exposure or corticotropin-releasing factor in rats: A model for PTSD-like information-processing deficits?

► PTSD-like prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits produced by predator exposure in rats. ► Corticotropin-releasing factor mimics this effect. ► PPI deficits are delayed and long-lasting. ► May be animal model for sensorimotor gating abnormalities in PTSD.
