Abstract

Chemogenetic activation of glutamatergic neurons of the prefrontal cortex reduces the manifestations of psychoemotional anxiety during the juvenile period of ontogenesis. This result is the first evidence of feasibility of targeted chemogenetic control of neuronal activity during the early stages of brain development.
