Neuronal circuit involved in chronic pain-induced maladaptive anxiet

Caption

Neuronal circuit involved in chronic pain-induced maladaptive anxiety. Increased excitability (white arrow) of BNSTCART neurons causes a sustained suppression (black arrow) of LH-projecting BNST neurons during chronic pain, thereby enhancing anxiety-like behavior (Naoki Yamauchi, et al. Science Advances. April 27, 2022).
