This study investigates context-dependent flight behavior in rats, showing that contextual fear influences flight responses and that amygdala inactivation reduces both contextual and flight behaviors.

This study shows that the BNST processes ambiguous threat signals, reducing freezing to backward conditioned stimuli when inactivated.

This study shows that the nucleus reuniens (RE) is essential for precise hippocampal-dependent contextual fear memory encoding but not retrieval in rats.
