摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods of modulating a feature of a behavioral state. The methods involve inhibiting or activating the activity of a bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) neuron, a BNST subnucleus, or a neuronal output to or from a BNST neuron. Animals encounter environmental conditions that require rapid switching among different behavioral states to increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction.
