The commentary by Luyck and colleagues on our paper provides many stimulating viewpoints and interpretations of our original study on dissociable responses in the amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in threat processing. Here, we reply to some of the points raised and while agreeing with most of the comments also provide some alternative viewpoints. We end by putting forward a research agenda for how to further investigate the roles of these regions in threat processing, with an emphasis on studying their roles in defensive action.

杏仁核和基底前脑在防御中的作用：对Luyck等人的回复。以及防御行动的含义。

Luyck及其同事对我们论文的评论提供了许多令人振奋的观点和解释，这些都是我们对威胁处理中纹状体末端杏仁核和床核中可分离反应的原始研究的原始解释。在这里，我们答复提出的一些观点，尽管同意大多数意见，但也提供了一些替代观点。最后，我们提出了一个研究议程，以探讨如何进一步研究这些地区在威胁处理中的作用，重点是研究它们在防御行动中的作用。
