Abstract
Understanding how adverse life events trigger stress-related behavioural changes remains an unresolved challenge. The amygdala is integral to emotion and stress responses1 and comprises astrocytes, neurons and other cells. Here we show that amygdala astrocytes contribute to stress-related behaviours through signalling mechanisms related to their primary cilia2. Amygdala astrocytes are altered during stress at the protein and gene expression level, display reduced expression of molecules related to primary cilia3,4 and have morphologically short primary cilia5,6. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central to astrocyte7 and primary cilia2,8,9 function. Therefore, we speculated that GPCR signalling activation might be beneficial in stress-related behavioural disorders. We identified amygdala astrocyte GPCRs as regulators of responses following stress. Chemogenetics and targeting of native sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) GPCRs led to the restoration of astrocyte primary cilia length, corrected molecular alterations and improved stress-related behaviours. Cilium-related genes were abundantly expressed in human amygdala astrocytes, with many displaying disrupted expression in stress-related brain disorders. S1PR1 was also highly expressed in amygdala astrocytes from human tissue. Selective genetic disruption of amygdala astrocyte primary cilia in mice altered some stress-related behaviours and gene expression of astrocytes and parenchymal cells. These data confirm that astrocytic cilia have important roles in this brain nucleus. In summary, amygdala astrocytes and their primary cilia are disrupted during stress, and their restoration is accompanied by stress-related molecular and behavioural improvements. Astrocyte primary cilia-related mechanisms may therefore provide new treatment strategies for stress-related and other brain disorders.

Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 29 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- no match between paragraphs and code yet;
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
