Cocaine addicted men have low startle magnitude persisting during prolonged abstinence. Low startle rats show greater cocaine self-administration than high startle rats. Low startle may be a marker of a vulnerability to heightened cocaine-related behaviors in rats and similarly may be a marker of vulnerability to cocaine addiction in humans.
可卡因成瘾男性在长期禁欲期间惊吓反应幅度持续较低。低惊吓反应的大鼠比高惊吓反应的大鼠表现出更强的可卡因自我给药行为。低惊吓反应可能是大鼠中对与可卡因相关行为增强的易感性的一个标志,同样也可能是人类对可卡因成瘾易感性的一个标志。
