Out of control: organizational defensive routines.
The current theory posits that organizational defensive routines (ODRs) are one of the reasons to explain why organizations still fail to achieve their learning goals. However, this assumption lacks consistent empirical evidence. This study is one of very few attempts to refine the concept of ODRs …

Spatial-memory control of defensive actions
Adapting anti-predatory defensive strategies to the properties of the environment is critical for survival. Here, I investigated the dependence of mouse instinctive defensive behaviours on memory of the spatial environment, and the neural mechanisms responsible for accurate escape towards refuge. …
