Defensive behaviours are a range of strategies that an organism employs to cope with threatening stimuli. In social animals like mice, threats can be in the form of aggressive conspecifics, competing for territory and resources for male mice, or unwanted social interactions, like sexual advances from unfamiliar males for female mice. These aversive situations can be de-escalated by the avoidance of the threat, displaying submissive postures or even by defensive attack. The ventrolateral subdivision of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) has been shown to be essential for the expression of bo

Intracranial human brain recordings from multiple stereotactically implanted depth electrodes using stereo-EEG (sEEG) technology for seizure localization provides unique local field potential signals (LFP) sampled with standard macro- and special micro-electrode contacts. Over one hundred macro- and micro-contact LFP signals localized in particular brain regions were recorded from each sEEG monitoring case as patients engaged in an automated battery of verbal memory and non-verbal gaze movement tasks. Subject eye and vocal responses in both visual and auditory task versions were automatically
