Startle Pathway

Startle Pathway is a neurobiological circuit that mediates the rapid, reflexive response to sudden or threatening stimuli, distinguished from other sensory-motor pathways by its reliance on a conserved brainstem-mediated synaptic cascade initiated primarily via the cochlear root neurons and relayed through the nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis to spinal motor neurons.
