This study shows that innate avoidance of heights is refined by noradrenergic signaling and prefrontal cortex experience, without external reinforcement.

The paper investigates neuromodulator dynamics in mice during a naturalistic reward-threat task, finding distinct roles for norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in encoding motivational states.

This study identifies norepinephrine as a threat prediction error signal during fear learning, contrasting with dopamine's role in reward prediction.
