Leptin Neural Circuit Restores Balance After Anxiety Upsets It
Research has shown that a brain circuit involving leptin helps mice execute vital behaviors even when anxious.
A study led by researchers at the University of Cologne and University Hospital Cologne has identified the neural circuit that counteracts anxiety, helping mice perform essential behaviors and reduce maladaptive behaviors.
- Neurons receptive to leptin track and predict anxiety, suppressing it to maintain balance.
- This research could inform the treatment of anxiety-related psychiatric disorders in the future.
Anxiety is an important mental state that helps protect us from dangerous situations; however, it can prevent us from eating, exploring new areas or resting appropriately.
