BNSTGABA neurons regulate autophagy to alleviate depression with gastric dysfunction symptoms by Yi Yuan, Jiangang Xu, Shanlan Zhu, Hongkun Ma, Hao Wang, Xiyang Wang, Guoming Shen

“…Chemical activation of BNSTGABA neurons eliminated CUMS-induced depressive symptoms and gastric dysfunction with effects similar to EA treatment. In addition, transcriptomics data showed that excessive autophagy was present in the gastric tissues of CUMS model mice, which was alleviated by EA, and it was verified by Western Blot that EA may ameliorate depression-induced gastric dysfunction by modulating BNSTGABA neurons, which effectively inhibited excessive autophagy in the cells of gastric tissues. …”
