Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex, a measure of sensory gating, is reduced in schizophrenic patients. Dopamine agonists and NMDA receptor antagonists such as phencyclidine (PCP) can disrupt PPI in animals, consistent with both the dopamine and glutamate hypotheses of schizophrenia. In this study, we sought to further characterize the effects of the NMDA antagonist...
