Running Exercise Promotes Astrocyte-Mediated Structural Plasticity in the Amygdalar BLA and CeA to Alleviate Anhedonia-like Behavior Alterations

Amygdala dysfunction is implicated in stress-related affective disorders, and astrocytes are key regulators of amygdalar neuroplasticity. Here, we examined whether running exercise modulates astrocyte number, morphology, proliferation, and excitatory synaptic contacts in the basolateral amygdala (BL...
