Depolarization of astrocytes in the basolateral amygdala restores WFS1 neuronal activity and rescues impaired risk-avoidance behavior in DISC1TM mice

The paper shows that depolarizing astrocytes in the basolateral amygdala rescues impaired risk-avoidance behavior in DISC1-NTM mice by restoring WFS1 neuronal activity.

Parvalbumin interneurons in the nucleus accumbens regulate impairment of risk avoidance in DISC1 transgenic mice

This study shows DISC1-NTM mice have impaired risk avoidance, linked to reduced activity in nucleus accumbens parvalbumin interneurons.

Bursting firing in ventromedial hypothalamic neurons exerts dual control of anxiety-like behavior and energy expenditure

This study shows that burst firing in dmVMH neurons controls anxiety-like behavior and energy expenditure through Cav3.1-mediated mechanisms in a chronic stress model.

A new GABAergic projection from the BNST onto accumbal parvalbumin neurons controls anxiety

The paper identifies a novel GABAergic projection from the BNST to accumbal parvalbumin neurons that modulates anxiety-related behavior through inhibitory synaptic transmission.
