The paper shows that oxytocin receptor-expressing BNST neurons are excited by AVP and OT inputs, reducing anxious arousal and threat avoidance.

This study shows oxytocin excites BNST interneurons and inhibits BNST output neurons to the central amygdala, suggesting a role in facilitating cued fear.

This study shows that defective depalmitoylation in Ppt1-/- mice leads to NMDAR subunit stagnation, synaptic dysfunction, and increased excitotoxicity.
