Summary
This paper investigates the neural basis of fear of heights in mice, finding that visual input is a critical factor in mouse reactions to heights, while peripheral vestibular input is nonessential.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how mice form a long-lasting memory triggered by a single exposure to height threat, indicating the role of cognitive function and memory in fear of heights.
Mood regulation: The paper discusses how fear of heights in mice is regulated by visual input and neural responses, which is relevant to the category of mood regulation.
Education and learning: The paper's findings contribute to our understanding of the neural basis of fear of heights, which is relevant to the category of education and learning.
