Abstract
⺠The amygdala does not seem to be necessary for early stages of threat detection. ⺠Superior colliculi of infant capuchins were lesioned with ibotenic acid. ⺠Subjects were tested in a food-retrieval test with aversive stimulus. ⺠Lesioned monkeys showed no inhibition in the presence of snake-toy. ⺠Data indicate that superior colliculus is important to threat responsiveness.
