Author Correction: Feature-specific threat coding in lateral septum guides defensive action - Nature

Correction to: Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10520-9 Published online 20 May 2026

In the version of the article initially published, Corey C. Harwell was inadvertently omitted from the author list. Corey C. Harwell’s laboratory, in collaboration with Christopher M. Reid, generated the unpublished single-cell spatiotranscriptomic (MERFISH) data used in this study (referenced as bioRxiv preprint, ref. 41). The grant no. “R37MH119156” has been added to the Acknowledgements. Additionally, Christopher M. Reid’s institutional affiliation was incomplete; his UCSF affiliations have now been added. These corrections have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
