via talâmica
Explanation:
Parece que estrada baixa não é um termo usado em português.

Num rato, um estímulo acústico demora cerca de 12 milissegundos (12 milésimos de segundo) para chegar à amígdala pela via talâmica, e praticamente o dobro pela via cortical. A via talâmica, portanto, é mais rápida.
