Both sexes are consistently able to successfully address potential life-threatening cues using different post-threat coping strategies. A Ethograms of the three defensive movements, looking up, flight and freezing. B The number of Freezing and Non-Freezing group mice in both sexes. C The two mouse sub-groups displayed similar defensive behavior following looming stimuli. D Action sequences and ethograms of mice in the two sub-groups. E Schematic diagram showing the conceptual timeline of events during escape behavior. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. The fractions of each group and light color traces represent the fractions from 46 mice (blue, male, n = 23 mice; red, female, n = 22 mice)
