Medial amygdala arginine vasopressin neurons regulate innate aversion to cat odors in male mice
Aversion to environmental cues of predators is an integral part of defensive behaviors in many prey animals. It enhances their survival and probability of future reproduction. At the same time, animals cannot be maximally defended because imperatives of defense usually trade-off with behaviors requi...
