Abstract
The periaqueductal gray, in particular its dorsolateral part (PAGdl) is known to be critically involved in the organization of innate and contextual fear responses to predatory threats. However, recent findings from our group has shown that PAGdl-lesioned animals exposed to a live predator showed clear fear responses, avoiding the predator and presenting a pattern of cautious exploration …

Abstract
The PAG is known to play an important role in a number of anti-predator related responses, such as the modulation of nociceptive sensory transmission, regulation of the cardiovascular system, vocalization, and organization of motor patterns in response to live predators. As originally noted by Hunsperger (1956), the PAG is a key site to organize defensive responses, where lesions result i…
