FIGURE 6.5. Distinct brain regions involved in different types of fear. (A) Schematic illustrating coronal section of a mouse brain indicating hippocampus (HC), bed nucleus of the stria terminals (BNST), basolateral amygdala (BLA), and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). Note that these regions are compressed into a single plane for illustrative purposes. (B) Areas containing neurons (red dots) activated by a conditioned fear stimulus. (C) Areas containing neurons (green dots) activated by an innate fear stimulus. Different types of neurons in the BNST and HC are activated by the two types of fear stimuli. Cells and regions are not drawn to scale. (D) Section through mouse VMH stained with antibodies to SF1 (green) and Esr1 (red). Note the clear separation of SF1+ vs. Esr1+ neurons in VMHdm/c vs. VMHvl, respectively. (E) Schematic circuit diagram comparing pathways thought to mediate innate defensive response to predator odors vs. conditioned defensive responses. VMHdm (the dorso-medial subdivision of VMH) is outlined in red (see also D). VNO, vomeronasal organ; AOB, accessory olfactory bulb; MeApv, Medial Amygdala posterior ventral; BNSTif, Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis interfasicular division; AHN, anterior hypothalamic nucleus; PMd, dorsal Pre-Mammillary nucleus; BS, Brain Stem; CEA, amygdala central nucleus; dl, dorso-lateral; dm, dorso-medial; l, lateral; vl, ventro-lateral.
