Why the study?
Does carotid baroreceptor stimulation attenuate the auditory startle response, and is this effect mediated by endogenous opioids in young normotensive adults?

Carotid baroreceptor stimulation dampens the auditory startle response via the basal primary acoustic startle circuit, independent of endogenous opioids.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Baroreceptor stimulation attenuates startle independently of opioids in normotensives; leaves open mediation and relevance in hypertension.
Nyklíček et al. (2005) studied this question.
