TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Building neural choice points for love and war JO - Neuron A1 - Simerly, Richard SP - 525 EP - 526 VL - 46 IS - 4 N2 - The molecular specification of central circuits that coordinate expression of innate behaviors in response to specific sensory cues from the environment remains a puzzle. In this issue of Neuron, Choi, Dong, and colleagues used expression profiling and genetic axonal tracing to visualize a hypothalamic point of convergence for defensive and reproductive olfactory cues that may function as a gating mechanism for sensory activation of defensive responses over reproduction.
