Brn3b regulates the formation of fear-related midbrain circuits and defensive responses to visual threat
Summary:
The paper discusses the role of the transcription factor Brn3b in the formation of fear-related midbrain circuits and defensive responses to visual threat, and how its deletion can impair these responses.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores the role of the transcription factor Brn3b in the formation of fear-related midbrain circuits, which are crucial for cognitive function and memory.
- Psychiatric Disorders: The paper discusses how the inaccurate interpretation of threat- and fear-related information can lead to psychiatric conditions, and how the deletion of Brn3b can impair defensive responses to visual threat.
- Eye health: The paper discusses the role of the transcription factor Brn3b in visually triggered defensive responses, indicating its importance in eye health.
- Neuroscience: The paper explores the neural circuitry mediating visually triggered defensive responses and the role of the transcription factor Brn3b in these circuits.
