Abstract:The amygdala, a key target for chronic stress, forms the hub of the brain's emotional circuits with the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and ventral hippocampus (vHPC). The structural and functional remodeling of the amygdala, especially the basolateral amygdala (BLA), caused by chronic stress is closely related to attendant changes in mood disorders such as anxiety disorders. Our previous study found that chronic stress differentially regulated BLA projection neurons (PNs) in different circuits, as evidenced b… Show more
