TI  - Reflex facilitation of the rabbit nictitating membrane response by an auditory 
      stimulus as a function of interstimulus interval.
PG  - 11-20
AB  - The ability of an auditory stimulus to facilitate the amplitude and latency of 
      the unconditioned nictitating membrane (NM) response in rabbits was investigated 
      over a wide range of interstimulus intervals (ISIs) for both delay (Experiments 
      1-4) and trace (Experiments 3 and 4) procedures. The auditory stimulus was a 
      1000-Hz tone (T) at either 85 or 95 dB, and the reflex-eliciting stimulus was a 
      2.0 psi (pounds per square inch) corneal air puff (AP). The results indicate that 
      (a) robust facilitation of the NM response, as measured by an increased amplitude 
      and a reduced latency, can be obtained at long ISIs (2,000-32,000 ms); (b) 
      increasing the tone intensity can increase reflex facilitation of the peak 
      amplitude; (c) at comparable ISIs, delay procedures produce more facilitation of 
      both amplitude and latency than do trace procedures; and (d) when trace 
      procedures are used, amplitude and latency facilitation by a 125-ms tone follows 
      an inverted U-shaped ISI function in which facilitation peaks between 125 and 500 
      ms, rapidly decreases between 1,000 and 2,000 ms, and disappears by 4,000 ms.
