“…Indeed, rat aggression towards mice is observed as predatory behaviour (Horovitz et al, 1966; Ilchibaeva et al, 2017; Tulogdi et al, 2015). In addition, close proximity to a rat elicits a flight response in mice (Deng et al, 2016; Esteban Masferrer et al, 2020; Reis, Lee, et al, 2021; Reis, Liu, et al, 2021; Tobias et al, 2023; Wang, Schuette, La‐Vu, et al, 2021; Wang, Schuette, Nagai, et al, 2021). Thus, this innate threat experience required BNST GABA neurons for the consequential behavioural response in post‐encounter foraging when the predator was no longer present.…”
