Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at North Carolina State University explored the relationship between genetic background, cycling ovarian hormones, and sex differences in susceptibility to negative valence behaviors associated with anxiety disorders. The study used adult male and female mice from four common inbred mouse strains and assessed avoidance behavior and cued threat memory dynamics. The results showed that avoidance behavior and threat memory were genetically driven and influenced by cycling ovarian hormones. The study provides insights into the core features of anxiety disorders and highlights the complex interactions between genetics and hormonal factors. [Extracted from the article]
