Abstract excerpt
It is generally understood that genetic mechanisms contribute to pathological anxiety and that C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) mice, inbred strains differing markedly in their anxiety-like behaviors, may represent a model system to study these contributions. Because lateral/basolateral amygdala (BLA) GABA(A) receptors help regulate anxiety-like behaviors, we have tested the hypothesis that differences in receptor...
