2015, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The PMd is the focal point of the defense circuit evoked by cat odor exposure in rats [9]. For example, lesions in this area prevent expression of clear defensive behavior in rats exposed to cats or cat odor [11], and bilateral PMd lesions cause a reduction in freezing and avoidance to cat odor [20]. In the current study, the PMd showed a similar activation and attenuation pattern as the approach and activity measures, in that all three measures increased during cat odor exposure and were also attenuated by SB-334867 administration.
