This project investigates the neural circuits involved in fear responses to predators and social threats. By mapping these circuits in mice, it aims to enhance understanding of fear processing and develop potential treatments for anxiety disorders.
Fear is an emotion that exerts powerful effects on our behavior and physiology. A large body of research implicates the amygdala in fear of painful stimuli, but virtually nothing is known about the circuits that support fear of predators and social threats, despite their primal importance in human behavior and pathology.
Unlike painful stimuli, predator and social threats activate the medial hypothalamus, a cluster of highly conserved brain nuclei that control motivated behavior.
Intriguingly, p…
