Article Synopsis
- The habenula, a brain structure linked to pain and depression, was studied in rats to understand its activation during neuropathic pain and depressive-like behavior.
- Rats with neuropathic pain showed less response to mechanical pain and increased signs of depression, along with changes in neuronal activity marked by cFos in the habenula subregions.
- The findings indicate that different areas of the habenula respond variably to pain and depression, suggesting its significant role in these intertwined disorders.
Avoidance behavior is a hallmark in pathological anxiety disorders and results in impairment of daily activities. Individual differences in avoidance responses are critical in determining vulnerability or resistance to anxiety disorders. Dopaminergic activation is implicated in the processing of avoidance responses; however, the mechanisms underlying these responses are unknown.
