Article Synopsis
- High salt intake is linked to anxiety disorders, but its effects on fear responses, particularly fear generalization, are under-researched.
- In a study using adult mice, it was found that high salt consumption did not affect immediate fear responses but led to increased fear generalization in female mice after a delay, while it decreased fear generalization in male mice.
- These findings suggest that the impact of salt on fear responses is sex-specific and occurs independently of changes in osmotic stress or hormone levels, indicating deeper neurophysiological changes.
