Research in both animals (e.g., Davis et al., 2008; LeDoux and Schiller, 2009) and humans (e.g., Sabatinelli et al., 2005) has consistently demonstrated that the startle reflex activates the brain's fear-defense circuit, mediated by the amygdala.
Research in animals (e.g., Davis et al., 2008; LeDoux and Schiller, 2009) and humans (e.g., Sabatinelli et al., 2005) has demonstrated that the startle reflex activates the brain's fear-defense circuit, instantiated by the amygdala, and is enhanced when individuals are exposed to threatening stimuli.
Testifying in his own defense at Portsmouth circuit court, Rankin appeared to undermine his own case to have acted reasonably, by unexpectedly and repeatedly saying that he had experienced "tunnel vision" when he killed Chapman.

In this context it is important to note that, although we focus primarily on the role of phylogenetically old circuits underpinning innate animal and human defense responses, in humans these circuits are embedded within, and interact with, a broad array of more recently evolved neural circuits and networks involved in emotion regulation.
Although it was widely viewed as a liberal court that advanced a civil rights agenda and, more recently, rose to the defense of gays, the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, has in recent years displayed a more conservative bent, notably in immigrant rights cases.
