Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio explores the connection between fear learning and anxiety behaviors. The study focuses on the activation of neurons in the anterior basolateral amygdala (aBLA) during fear learning and its impact on anxiety-like behaviors. Using transgenic mice, the researchers found that photoexcitation of fear-activated aBLA neurons increased anxiety-like behaviors, while photoinhibition decreased them. These findings suggest that fear learning-activated aBLA neurons may play a role in the development and maintenance of fear-related anxiety disorders.
