• mice display anxiety-like behavior, showing reduced distance traveled, reduced distance in the center and much less time spend in the center of the open-field test
• however, mice exhibit normal extinction of fear memory in the continuous elevated plus-maze test
• treatment with BCX-1777, a purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitor, reduces anxiety symptoms
• mice treated with an adeno-associated virus expressing myelin basic protein promoter-driven Adora1 shRNA to knock-down the adenosine receptor A1 in oligodendrocytes rescues the anxiety phenotype
• treatment with 2-Deoxy-D-glucose, a glucose analog that inhibits its catabolic pathways, normalizes the anxiety-like symptoms
