The subiculum > hypothalamic path has critical roles in expressing defensive responses in a wide range of threatening situations. This path is engaged during exposure to a natural predator or its context, social defeat, and contexts related to physically harmful events. Previous data have shown that the ventral and intermediate subiculum provide strong projections to a continuum formed by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) and juxtadorsomedial part of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHAjd). By combining track tracing, chemogenetic, and calcium imaging experiments, we focused on differen
