Identification of a prefrontal cortex-to-amygdala pathway for chronic stress-induced anxiety
Dysregulated prefrontal control over amygdala has been implicated in the etiology of stress-related psychiatric disorders. Here, the authors show that the dysregulation preferentially occurs in amygdala neurons that are mono- but not bi-directionally connected with dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.
