In this issue of Neuron, Yamaguchi et al. (2013) demonstrated that inactivation of two parallel neural pathways connecting the posterior septum with the medial habenula differentially affects fear and anxiety in mice, providing insights into how animals choose defensive behaviors under threats.
本期《神经元》杂志上，Yamaguchi 等人（2013）证实了失活连接后隔核与中脑内侧缰核的两条平行神经通路可以在小鼠身上产生不同的恐惧和焦虑效应，这为我们了解动物在受到威胁时如何选择防御行为提供了新的视角。
