This study identifies a non-image-forming visual circuit in mice that mediates innate fear of heights, independent of primary visual cortex processing.

The paper identifies BLA neurons that specifically encode fear of heights in mice, showing context-dependent activation and implications for fear disorder treatment.

This study investigates the role of norepinephrine projections from the locus coeruleus to the central amygdala in defensive responses to learned threats, showing bidirectional modulation of freezing behavior.
