OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the isolated and combined effects of fear and PPS paradigms on SBR.
METHOD: The prospective study was conducted with healthy participants. After stimulation of the right median nerve at the wrist, bilateral recordings were randomized under the following conditions: First experiment (with the right hand on the chair armrest): i. baseline recordings, ii. while watching fearful facial expressions from the Karolinska Emotional Faces battery (fear), iii. post-watching (post-fear), iv. while watching neutral facial expressions from the same battery (neutral), v. Immediately after viewing (post-neutral). Second experiment (right hand 2 cm away from the right eye, PPS): i. reference condition (PPS), ii. while watching fearful facial expressions (PPS-fear), iii. while watching neutral facial expressions (PPS-neutral). In each condition, SBR latency, area, duration, and amplitudes were measured and compared between conditions.
RESULTS: We included 16 participants. SBR could be recorded in 11 (mean age:30.7 ± 5.2, F/M:5/6). First experiment: SBR amplitude was significantly reduced in fear condition (p = 0.008), and SBR area was reduced considerably in fear and post-fear conditions (p = 0.004) compared to the baseline. Second experiment: The SBR area was higher in the PPS (p = 0.009) compared to the baseline and even higher in the fearPPS compared to the PPS (p = 0.038). In neutral or PPS-neutral conditions, the area of the SBR did not change significantly.
CONCLUSION: Fear suppressed SBR, but fear increased SBR when a threat stimulus was present. The findings were unrelated to habituation or attention, indicating cortical-amygdala-bulbar connections.
