     * the amygdala's neurons fire only briefly when a threat first appears
     * neurons in the lateral amygdala (LA) and basolateral amygdala (BLA) integrate cue and outcome information, synaptic plasticity strengthens inputs carrying threat-predictive stimuli, and outputs from the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) mediate defensive responses such as freezing and flight
