Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and cholecystokinin (CCK) signaling has been implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD), but the underlying circuit mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we define how mGluR5 regulates depressive-like behaviors through CCK signaling in the entorhinal cortex (EC) to basolateral amygdala (BLA) pathway. Anatomical tracing and optogenetics show that...
