杏仁核处理和引导对恐惧行为至关重要的输入和输出。然而,它是否直接感觉到引起恐惧的刺激尚不清楚。由于杏仁核表达酸感离子通道-1a(ASIC1a),而ASIC1a是正常恐惧反应所必需的,我们假设杏仁核可能检测到pH降低。我们发现,吸入二氧化碳会降低小鼠大脑的pH值,并引发恐惧行为。消除或抑制ASIC1a显著削弱这种活性,杏仁核中ASIC1a的局部表达拯救了ASIC1a缺失动物的二氧化碳诱导的恐惧缺陷。缓冲pH可以减轻恐惧行为,而杏仁核微量注射直接降低pH则重现了二氧化碳的影响。这些数据表明,杏仁核是检测高碳酸血症和酸中毒并启动行为反应的重要化学传感器。他们还给出了二氧化碳浓度上升如何引发强烈恐惧的分子解释,并为剖析焦虑和恐慌症的基础提供了基础。
The amygdala processes and directs inputs and outputs that are key to fear behavior. However, whether it directly senses fear-evoking stimuli is unknown. Because the amygdala expresses acid sensing ion channel-1a (ASIC1a), and ASIC1a is required for normal fear responses, we hypothesized that the amygdala might detect a reduced pH. We found that inhaled CO2 reduced brain pH and evoked fear behavior in mice. Eliminating or inhibiting ASIC1a markedly impaired this activity, and localized ASIC1a expression in the amygdala rescued the CO2- induced fear deficit of ASIC1a-null animals. Buffering pH attenuated fear behavior, whereas directly reducing pH with amygdala microinjections reproduced the effect of CO2. These data identify the amygdala as an important chemosensor that detects hypercarbia and acidosis and initiates behavioral responses. They also give a molecular explanation for how rising CO2 concentrations elicit intense fear and provide a foundation for dissecting the bases of anxiety and panic disorders.
