Stria terminalis / Bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST)
Functions
The activity of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis correlates with anxiety in response to threat monitoring.[1] It is thought to act as a relay site within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and regulate its activity in response to acute stress.[2] It is also thought to promote behavioral inhibition in response to unfamiliar individuals, by input from the orbitofrontal cortex.[3] Bilateral disruption of this pathway has been shown to attenuate reinstatement of drug seeking behaviour in rodents.[4]
...On average, the BSTc is twice as large in men as in women and contains twice the number of somatostatin neurons....
