Looming stimuli reliably drive innate, but not learned, defensive responses in rats.

M. Heinemans, M. A. Moita

This study shows that looming stimuli trigger innate defensive responses in rats but not learned responses, unlike electric shocks which effectively condition learned freezing.

Freezing displayed by others is a learned cue of danger resulting from co-experiencing own-freezing and shock

A. Cruz, M. Heinemans, C. Marquez, M. A. Moita

This study shows that freezing displayed by others becomes a learned danger cue through auto-conditioning, where prior shock experience links self-freezing to threat.
