Evidence Snippets

We propose that these circuits are contained within three main functional units in the brain: a detection unit, responsible for gathering sensory information signaling the presence of a threat.

Acute innate fear responses to different threats tend to use distinct detection, integration, and output circuits, whereas memory encoding of those threats appears to rely on a shared learning system.
