Abstract An animal’s evolutionary success depends on the ability to seek and consume foods while avoiding environmental threats. However, how evolutionarily conserved threat detection circuits modulate feeding is unknown. In mammals, assessment are strongly influenced by parabrachial nucleus (PBN), a structure that responds threats inhibits feeding. Here, we report PBN receives dense inputs from bed of stria terminalis (BNST), an extended amygdala encodes affective information. Using series...
