A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety

ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined. Here, we identified Cerebellin‐2‐...

The Neural Mechanism of Motion Sickness Alleviation by Anticipatory Sound

Abstract Motion sickness (MS) is a common response to conflicting motion signals and can cause nausea, dizziness, malaise, and reduced activity. Sound can lessen MS, but how auditory cues influence the brain circuits that generate these symptoms is unclear. Here we show, using a...
