Physiological Profile of Neuropeptide Y-Expressing Neurons in Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis in Mice: State of High Excitability

Physiological Profile of Neuropeptide Y-Expressing Neurons in Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis in Mice: State of High Excitability

Both, the anterior bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and the neuropeptide Y (NPY) system are involved in shaping fear and defensive responses that adapt the organism to potentially life-threatening conditions. NPY is expressed in the BNST but NPY-expressing neurons in this critical hub in t...
