Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions MK-801 and prepulse inhibition and acoustic startle.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.
