Collectively, these observations demonstrate that FAAH is functionally positioned to modulate the actions of AEA and other NAEs on BLA neurons and anxiety processes mediated by this region. By extension, manipulations that lead to alterations in FAAH activity, such as stress or administration of compounds targeting FAAH [52], would be predicted to functionally impact BLA functions, including anxiety. We consider emerging evidence in support of this hypothesis in the next section.
