Schreckstoff: It takes two to panic

Research output: Contribution to journal › Debate/Note/Editorial › peer-review

Abstract

Schreckstoff (fear substance) is an alarm signal released by injured fish that induces a fear response. Its chemical nature has long been debated. A new study finds that zebrafish Schreckstoff is composed of at least three components, two of which elicit the fear response only in combination.
