Control of Behavioral Arousal and Defense by a Glutamatergic Midbrain-Amygdala Pathway in Mice

In response to external threatening signals, animals evolve a series of defensive behaviors that depend on heightened arousal. It is believed that arousal and defensive behaviors are coordinately regulated by specific neurocircuits in the central nervous system. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a...
