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: 10.1037/pspp0000163
Abstract: Three studies investigated the effects of meditation on responses to reminders of death. Study 1 took a quasi-experimental approach, comparing defensive responses to mortality salience (MS) of South Korean participants with varying levels of experience… 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: 10.1111/ibi.13432
Abstract: Invasive species like the European Starling Sturnus vulgaris, which is rapidly expanding in South America, can threaten native birds through nest usurpation, making timely threat recognition essential for nest defence. Using model presentation experiments at… read more here.

Dendritic and parallel processing of visual threats in the retina control defensive responses

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.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0302728
Abstract: Although behavioural defensive responses have been recorded several times in both laboratory and natural habitats, their neural mechanisms have seldom been investigated. To explore how chemical, water-borne cues are conveyed to the forebrain and instruct… read more here.
