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...

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...

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.

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...
