A Forebrain Hub for Cautious Actions via the Midbrain

Ji He Zhou, Muhammad S Sajid, Sebastián Hormigo, Manuel A. Castro‐Alamancos

This study identifies the subthalamic nucleus's role in cautious actions by showing its projections to the midbrain are essential for cued avoidance behavior.

Subthalamic nucleus controls cautious action timing under threat

Ji He Zhou, Muhammad S. Sajid, Sebastián Hormigo, Manuel A. Castro‐Alamancos

This paper shows that subthalamic nucleus (STN) glutamatergic neurons regulate action timing under threat by modulating response initiation speed and caution.

Role of the nucleus accumbens in signaled avoidance actions

Ji He Zhou, Sebastián Hormigo, Muhammad Sajid, Manuel A. Castro‐Alamancos

This study investigates the role of nucleus accumbens neurons in avoidance behaviors using optogenetics and calcium imaging in mice, finding that NAc disruption does not impair avoidance but abnormal output can disrupt it.

Zona incerta distributes a broad movement signal that modulates behavior

Sebastián Hormigo, Ji He Zhou, Dorian Chabbert, Sarmad Sajid, Natan Busel, Manuel A. Castro‐Alamancos

This study identifies two groups of zona incerta neurons with distinct movement sensitivity and shows they modulate behavior through a broad movement signal.
