Figure Legend Snippet: Activation of prefrontal PV + neurons in male mice affects the expression of anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors under baseline and stressful conditions. Top left, Representative image of mCherry-DREADD virus expression in the PrL and IL regions of the PFC. Top right, Schematic representation of experimental design. a–d , In the EPM test, UCMS interacted with the chronic activation of prefrontal PV + neurons to modulate the time spent in the open arms ( a ; * p = 0.0441; ** p = 0.0052), but no other significant interactions were observed. e – h , In the OF test, UCMS decreased time in the center ( e ; * p = 0.011), increased thigmotaxis ratio ( g ; * p = 0.0244), and increased overall activity ( h ; ** p = 0.0019). i , j , In the marble-burying test, a significant UCMS effect was driven by a higher number of marbles buried by UCMS/hM3DGq mice compared with their nonstressed controls (** p = 0.0038; i ); a similar effect was observed in the splash test ( j ), with decreased time spent grooming by UCMS/hM3DGq mice compared with their nonstressed controls (** p = 0.0088). k , In the CPA test, significant effects of stress and virus were detected; Tukey’s post hoc analyses revealed that the aversion score of mice from the UCMS/hM3DGq was lower than that of control mice (* p = 0.021). N = 8–11/group (C/mCherry, N = 8; UCMS/mCherry, N = 11; C/hM3DGq, N = 8; UCMS/hM3DGq, N = 9). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM.
