This study shows that losing the MeCP2 gene in parvalbumin interneurons reduces inhibitory signaling in the amygdala and disrupts functional connectivity with the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

This study investigates how early-life stress affects glutamatergic inputs to interneurons in the mouse amygdala, revealing sex-specific changes in circuit dynamics and fear processing.

This study shows that GluK1 kainate receptors are essential for the development and maintenance of parvalbumin interneurons in the amygdala, affecting their function and behavior.

This study investigates how early life stress affects prefrontal-amygdala connectivity in rats, finding transient increases in GABAergic inhibition and reduced network synchronization in males but not females.
