Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of predator odors in mammalian prey species: A review of field and laboratory studies
TL;DR: A small number of recent studies have suggested that skin and fur-derived predator odors may have a more profound lasting effect on prey species than those derived from urine or feces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporary inactivation of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis but not of the amygdala blocks freezing induced by trimethylthiazoline, a component of fox feces.
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the BNST is critically involved in unlearned fear, whereas the amygdala is more involved in the acquisition and expression of learned fear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural correlates of cat odor-induced anxiety in rats: region-specific effects of the benzodiazepine midazolam.
TL;DR: The results indicate that midazolam exerts a region-specific effect on the neural substrates activated by predator odor, with effects in the lateral septum and dorsal premammillary nucleus likely to be of major importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
TMT-induced autonomic and behavioral changes and the neural basis of its processing
TL;DR: The aim of the present review is to summarize the small number of studies that have examined the neural processing of the TMT stimulus and discuss the possible use of TMT exposure in rodents as an animal model of unconditional fear in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cat odor, but not trimethylthiazoline (fox odor), activates accessory olfactory and defense-related brain regions in rats.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the effects of cat odor and TMT are easily distinguished both behaviorally and at a neural level, and suggest that TMT lacks the "pheromone-like" quality ofCat odor that engages key hypothalamic sites involved in defensive behavior.
