Furthermore, comparative analysis with the GO-term integrated transcriptome database revealed that several genes prioritized in our study, such as Arc, Cxcl12, Prox1, Bmp6, Lef1, Tgfbr2, and Rac3, were also highly ranked in previous PTSD-related studies (Stankiewicz et al., 2022). Here, ARC is linked to post-traumatic stress disorder.
