Question 1

De Oca & Fanselow (2014) used exocytotic lesions to what three areas, in their investigation of rat reactivity to a nearby cat predator?

Answer 1

CeA, vPAG, dlPAG

Question 2

De Oca & Fanselow (2004), lesion findings (3 regions)

Answer 2

1. CeA: decreased climbing and escape behavior, normal locomotion away from cat (normal avoidance)
2. VPAG: decreased climbing, reduced avoidance of area adjacent to cat, no impact on escape
3. DlPAG: no effect on escape/avoidance
