The habenula (Hb) is an epithalamic structure differentiated into two nuclear complexes,
medial (MHb) and lateral habenula (LHb). After decades of relative neglect, interest in the …

The habenula (Hb) is a phylogenetically old epithalamic structure differentiated into two
nuclear complexes, the medial (MHb) and lateral habenula (LHb). After decades of search …

The lateral habenula (LH b) is an epithalamic region with a crucial role in the regulation of
midbrain monoaminergic systems. Over the past few years a renewed interest in the LH b …

The past decade has witnessed exponentially growing interest in the lateral habenula (LHb)
owing to new discoveries relating to its critical role in regulating negatively motivated …

Over the last decade, the understanding of the habenula has rapidly advanced from being
an understudied brain area with the Latin name 'habena” meaning “little rein”, to being …

The lateral habenula (LHb) and the serotonergic system both contribute to motivational
states by encoding rewarding and aversive signals. Converging evidence suggests that …

There is a growing awareness that emotion, motivation, and reward values are important
determinants of our behavior. The habenula is uniquely positioned both anatomically and …

Serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) play an important role in regulation
of many physiological functions. The lateral nucleus of the habenular complex (LHb) is …

Hypofunction of the serotonergic (5-HT) system has close relationship with the symptoms in
major depressive disorders (MDD), however, the underlying neural circuitry mechanisms are …

Accumulating lines of evidence indicate that the lateral habenula (LHb), which reciprocally
interacts with raphe nuclei (RN), displays hyperactivity including synaptic potentiation of …
