Direct auditory cortical input to the lateral periaqueductal gray controls sound-driven defensive behavior.

Direct auditory cortical input to the lateral periaqueductal gray controls sound-driven defensive behavior.

Threatening sounds can elicit a series of defensive behavioral reactions in animals for survival, but the underlying neural substrates are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate a previously unexplored neural pathway in mice that projects directly from the auditory cortex (ACx) to the lateral pe...
