GABAergic subpopulations for home-driven behaviors in mice
How human and animal behavior with respect to “home” encoded in the brain is not well understood as home information profoundly influences behavioral states.
The researchers show that GABAergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus respond to home information and modulate diverse home driven affective behaviors, including aversion, defense, and mating.
Distinct projections from these neurons to the VTA and PAG regulate specific affective responses according to different contexts, revealing how the brain processes home-related cues to influence behavioral states.
