Abstract
ⶠSaporin, when conjugated to NPY (NPY-SAP), kills cells expression NPY receptors. ⶠInjecting NPY-SAP into the central amygdala (CeA) reduces local Y1 receptor levels. ⶠInjecting NPY-SAP into the CeA increases anxiety-like behavior. ⶠNPY-SAP may be a useful tool to study the central NPY circuitry modulating anxiety.
