Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the role of astrocytes in the ventral hippocampus (vHPC) in anxiety disorders, a common mental illness.
  • Using advanced imaging and genetic techniques, the researchers found that astrocytic activity in the vHPC increases in stressful situations and contributes to anxiety-like behaviors.
  • Inhibiting vHPC astrocytes can reduce anxiety, while activating them worsens anxiety behaviors, suggesting that these cells could be promising targets for future anxiety treatments.
