The paper shows that astrocytes in the basolateral amygdala encode threat-induced anxiety across tasks, contrasting with neurons that encode broader behavioral states.

The paper investigates how stress affects activity levels through interactions between orexin neurons and astrocytes, finding that astrocytic glucocorticoid receptors mediate sex-specific changes in neuronal firing and activity.

This study shows early-life stress causes astrocyte dysfunction in mice, leading to anxiety and fear generalization through impaired synaptic plasticity and neural excitability.
