Surviving threats: neural circuit and computational implications of a new taxonomy of defensive behaviour

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 19, 269 (2018). doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.22 Authors: Joseph LeDoux & Nathaniel D. Daw Research on defensive behaviour in mammals has in recent years focused on elicited reactions; however, organisms also make active choices when responding to danger.
