Figure 1

Potential role of crosstalk between the GABAergic system and the gut-vagus-brain pathway in stress. GABA, γ-aminobutyric acid; 5-HT3aR, serotonin receptor 5-HT3a; CCK, cholecystokinin; VIP, vasoactive intestinal peptide; SST, somatostatin; NPY, neuropeptide Y; PV, parvalbumin; mPFC, medial prefrontal cortex; PVH, paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus; NTS, nucleus of the solitary tract; DMN, dorsal motor nucleus; HPA, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal.
