Depressive-like behaviors induced by somatostatin-positive GABA neuron silencing are rescued by alpha 5 GABA-A receptor potentiation

This paper shows that silencing somatostatin-positive GABA neurons in mice induces depressive-like behaviors, which are reversed by a 5-GABA-A receptor positive allosteric modulator.

Prophylactic efficacy of riluzole against anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in two rodent stress models

This study evaluates riluzole's prophylactic effects against anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in rodent stress models, finding it reduces anhedonia and helplessness.

Residual avoidance: a new consistent and repeatable readout of chronic stress-induced conflict anxiety reversible by antidepressant treatment

This paper introduces a new behavioral assay, residual avoidance, to measure chronic stress-induced conflict anxiety in mice, showing it is consistent and reversible by antidepressants.
