Introduction

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and leading to significant impairments in daily functioning. Traditional pharmacological treatments have shown limited efficacy and often come with unpleasant side effects. Optogenetic manipulation, a relatively new technique in neuroscience, offers a promising alternative approach to understand and potentially treat anxiety disorders by precisely controlling neuronal activity with light. This thesis aims to explore the use of optogenetic manipulation of anxiety circuits in animal models to gain insights into the underlying neural mechanisms and to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

In conclusion, the use of optogenetic manipulation of anxiety circuits holds great promise for understanding the neural basis of anxiety disorders and developing more effective treatments. By elucidating the specific neural circuits involved in anxiety behaviors and modulating them with spatial and temporal precision, optogenetics provides a powerful tool for advancing our knowledge of anxiety mechanisms and potentially revolutionizing therapeutic approaches. This thesis will contribute to the growing body of literature on optogenetic manipulation and anxiety circuits, paving the way for further research and clinical applications in the field of mental health.
