Social cues of safety can override differences in threat level

This study shows that social cues of safety override differences in threat level in Drosophila, reducing individual freezing responses in groups exposed to higher threat.

Threat induces changes in cardiac activity and metabolism negatively impacting survival in flies

This study shows that threat in fruit flies causes cardiac changes and metabolic shifts that reduce survival, with freezing behavior linked to cardiac deceleration and energy depletion.

A new thalamo-cortical-amygdala circuit is involved in processing a natural auditory alarm cue

The paper identifies a neural circuit in rats that processes a natural auditory alarm cue by detecting the cessation of movement-evoked sound.
