Restoring communication between basolateral and centrolateral amygdala neurons was enough to reverse anxiety in mice, per a new iScience study
Researchers at IN-CSIC/UMH in Spain corrected a single gene’s expression in one population of amygdala neurons in adult mice ...

Mice engineered to overproduce Grik4 became visibly anxious and socially withdrawn; restoring the gene’s expression flipped both deficits back
Researchers have shown that mice carrying extra copies of the Grik4 gene developed clear signs of anxiety and social ...
Fear is an adaptive emotion that helps us cope with threatening situations. Deep within the temporal lobe of the brain is the amygdala, the most studied brain area involved in fear. The amygdala uses ...
Chronic stress can differentially change the neuronal structure and function in the brain, leading to anxiety disorders and other neuropsychiatric illness. Now, researchers may understand how the ...
What are the roles of norepinephrine and the locus coeruleus (LC) in promoting anxiety-like behavior through the basolateral amygdala (BLA)? The LC regulates arousal and stress reactions, especially ...
Bottom line: This study discovered a circuit in the brain that connects stress with increased glucose and therefore may link stress to type 2 diabetes. In stressful situations, this circuit from the ...
When you're under stress, your brain may release its own cannabinoid molecules to calm you, activating the same brain receptors as THC derived from cannabis plants. But the brain activity regulated by ...
