The dorsolateral PAG is known to organize active defensive behaviors needed for fight and flight, while the ventral PAG is more involved in immobility responses. The hippocampus is not directly involved in defensive behaviors, but is associated with memory and spatial navigation. The pontine nucleus is important in controlling eye movements and sleep/wake cycles.
