527. Chronic stress induces region- and cell-type-specific changes in GABAA receptor α-subunit expression in mice

Abstract Background Chronic stress is a risk factor for anxiety disorders and depression. These conditions are marked by dysregulated GABAergic (primary inhibitory neurotransmitter) signaling, particularly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HPC), and hypothalamus (HPT). Therapeutic interventions, such as benz...

Sex-Specific Organization and Synaptic Signaling in Prefrontal-Hypothalamic Circuitry

Overall, PH neurons were more excitable in females compared with males, and, in both sexes, data indicated tonic inhibition within the PH, with significantly greater inhibition in males.

GPR55 deletion increases anxiety- and depression-like behaviors and modifies amygdalar GABAAα2 expression

Introduction GPR55 has attracted attention for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and neurotransmitter-modulating properties, suggesting a role in mood regulation. Here, we aimed to clarify the contribution of GPR55 to emotional responses. Methods Male and female GPR55 knockout (GPR55KO) and wild-type (WT) C57BL/6...

The role of the anterior cingulate cortex in anxiety control, from circuits to disorders

A timely and comprehensive view of the anterior cingulate cortex’s role in adaptive and pathological anxiety is provided and an integrative model in which ACC effects depend on subregion, projection target, and behavioral context is proposed.

Distinct CaMKII neurons in anterior cingulate cortex regulate anxiety-like behavior and appetite suppression in a model of inflammatory pain

Two distinct CaMKII neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex are identified: one that projects to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and is associated with anxiety-like behavior and another that projects to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and regulates appetite suppression.

512. Oxytocin-receptor neurons in mPFC in stress-induced anxiety behaviors

Abstract Background The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (Oxt) modulates diverse social and anxiety-related behaviors. These biological actions are mediated by specific Oxt receptors (Oxtr), members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. While the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is fundamental in regulating...
