Semaphorin 6D tunes amygdalar circuits for emotional, metabolic, and inflammatory outputs
On the cover: In this issue of Neuron, Nakanishi, Izumi, et al.reveal that semaphorin 6D (SEMA6D) is a critical molecular regulator of synaptic maturation and GABAergic transmission in the amygdala, orchestrating neural-metabolic-inflammatory responses against various stress stimuli. The cover artistically depicts the roles of SEMA6D in the amygdala. The almond tree symbolizes the amygdalar neural network. Each blossom represents neural, metabolic, and inflammatory outputs. The tree branches (mature spines) and pollen (GABA) support blooming in the presence of SEMA6D (left). If SEMA6D is lost, tree branches do not mature and there is less pollen, so flowers are irregular (right). Artwork by Nazme Nagasawa (Space-Time Inc.).
