Confronting the anxiety of Generation Z: electroacupuncture therapy regulates oxidative stress and microglia activity in amygdala-basolateral of socially isolated mice

The results of this study suggest that EA exerts its anxiolytic effects through the modulation of oxidative stress and the activity of microglia in the BLA. These findings provide new insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of EA, highlighting the potential for non-pharmacological strategies in the management of anxiety disorders and paving the way for future research aimed at improving clinical outcomes for individuals suffering from anxiety.
