Expanding the threat network

The last 40 years have seen tremendous advances in our understanding of the neural circuits supporting threat learning. A large body of evidence now implicates the amygdala and handful of additional brain regions in threat learning. Circuit work has permitted increasingly detailed cellular and molecular accounts of amygdalar threat learning. While we agree the amygdala must be an essential node in the threat network, we feel that focus on a single region has come at the expense of mapping a more complete threat network. Work in my laboratory aims to expand the known threat network. In this talk I will discuss two recent findings from my laboratory. First, I will argue that threat integration is not unique to the amygdala, but is also observed in the periaqueductal gray. Second, I will present evidence that threat processing occurs in the ventral pallidum – a brain region primarily implicated in reward.
