DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.03.047
Abstract: Animals display a rich repertoire of defensive responses adequate to the threat proximity. In social species, these reactions can be additionally influenced by the behavior of fearful conspecifics. However, the majority of neuroscientific studies on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2019.05.027
Abstract: Innate defensive responses are essential for animal survival and are conserved across species. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) plays important roles in learned appetitive and aversive behaviors, but whether it plays a role in mediating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41380-019-0599-6
Abstract: Norepinephrine (NE) plays a central role in the acquisition of aversive learning via actions in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) [ 1 , 2 ]. However, the function of NE in expression of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abc9920
Abstract: The dendrites of a retinal interneuron detect visual threats and initiate defensive responses through parallel pathways. Approaching predators cast expanding shadows (i.e., looming) that elicit innate defensive responses in most animals. Where looming is first… read more here.
