Cardiac vagal activity during in-vivo threat exposure is associated with within-session inhibition of fear and avoidance [PDF]
Translational PsychiatryLaboratory research suggests that the attenuation of defensive responses during threat exposure relies on the inhibition of subcortical defense circuits orchestrated by the prefrontal cortex.

Interdependence between SEB-3 receptor and NLP-49 peptides shifts across predator-induced defensive behavioral modes in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
eLifePrey must balance predator avoidance with feeding, a central dilemma in prey refuge theory. Additionally, prey must assess predatory imminence—how close threats are in space and time.

"The message hurts, but it would be worse if nothing was said" - Communicating severe illness and the imminence of death to patients with end stage heart failure and their families - A longitudinal interview study. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAimsDiscussions about severe illness and the coming death do not often take place with patients with heart failure and their family. We therefore aimed to investigate how patients with end-stage heart failure and their family who discussed terminal ...

Investigation of human defence responses in a virtual reality environment: an EEG study [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceA predatory imminence continuum displays the perceived imminence of threat to visualise the risk to the prey. Most human studies have utilised static paradigms that may lack ecological validity and limit the exploration of defensive behaviours. Therefore,

Hypothalamic representation of the imminence of predator threat detected by the vomeronasal organ in mice [PDF]
eLifeAnimals have the innate ability to select optimal defensive behaviors with appropriate intensity within specific contexts. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) serves as a primary sensory channel for detecting predator cues by relaying signals to the medial ...

Estimating foraging behavior in rodents using a modified paradigm measuring threat imminence dynamics [PDF]
Neurobiology of StressAnimals need to respond to threats to avoid danger and approach rewards. In nature, these responses did not evolve alone but are always accompanied by motivational conflict.

Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale, 2022 Abstract From pre-emptive military strikes, humanitarian campaigns and precarious financial bubbles, to the climate change emergency and public health measures undertaken in response to COVID-19, we live in an era increasingly marked by discourses of imminence that bring a future close while also leaving it hard to imagine or inhabit. Claims of urgency

Acute anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with higher levels of everyday altruism
Scientific Reports, 2022 Prior laboratory research has suggested that humans may become more prosocial in stressful or threatening situations, but it is unknown whether the link between prosociality and defense generalizes to real-life.

THE IMPACT OF MODERN-DAY THREATS ON THE MEANING OF IMMINENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STATE’S RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENCE [PDF]
, 2021 Pojava prijetnji modernog doba, kao što su terorizam ili oružje za masovno uništenje, dovela je do preispitivanja tradicionalnog shvaćanja „neposredno predstojećeg napada“, kao preduvjeta poduzimanja samoobrane.
