Scatter plots of the amplitudes of the startle responses to a 120-dB pulse stimulus and percentages of prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response in male C57BL/6J mice. Relationships between acoustic startle response to 120-dB pulse stimulus and percentages of prepulse inhibition were assessed by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients (Rho) and p values for a 74 dB prepulse + 120 dB stimulus trial (74–120 dB) and 78 dB prepulse + 120 dB stimulus trial (78–120 dB) in 1363 mice (a, e­). The mice were divided into low (b, f), intermediate (c, g), and high (d, h) startle responder groups on the basis of their startle amplitudes. In each responder group, relationships between the acoustic startle response and percentages of prepulse inhibition were assessed by calculating the correlation coefficients (Rho) and p values for the 74–120 dB trial (b–d) and 78–120 dB trial (f–h)
