IL17A and Anxiety: The IL‐17 family (IL‐17A, IL‐17C) are well‐characterized “neuromodulatory” cytokines that bind IL‐17RA/RE receptors on basolateral amygdala neurons, enhancing N‐methyl aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor function via Act1–TRAF5 signaling to increase intracellular Ca2+ and neuronal excitability, thus promoting anxiety‐like behaviors [131].
