N2  - A host of learning, memory, and decision-making processes form the individual's response to threat and may be disrupted in anxiety and post-trauma psychopathology. Here we review the neural computations of threat, from the first encounter with a  dangerous situation, through learning, storing, and updating cues that predict it,  to making decisions about the optimal course of action. The overview highlights the  interconnected nature of these processes and their reliance on shared neural and  computational mechanisms. We propose an integrative approach to the study of  threat-related processes, in which specific computations are studied across the  various stages of threat experience rather than in isolation. This approach can  generate new insights about the evolution, diagnosis, and treatment of  threat-related psychopathology.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
