Translating the habenula-from rodents to humans
Open accessAbstract
The habenula (Hb) is a central structure connecting forebrain to midbrain regions. This microstructure regulates monoaminergic systems, notably dopamine and serotonin, and integrates cognitive with emotional and sensory processing. Early preclinical data have described Hb as a brain nucleus activated in anticipation of aversive outcomes. Evidence has now accumulated to show that the Hb encodes both rewarding and aversive aspects of external stimuli, thus driving motivated behaviors and decision making. Human Hb research is still nascent but develops rapidly, alongside with the growth of neuroimaging and deep brain stimulation techniques. Not surprisingly, Hb dysfunction has been associated with psychiatric disorders, and studies in patients have established evidence for Hb involvement in major depression, addiction, and schizophrenia, as well as in pain and analgesia. Here, we summarize current knowledge from animal research and overview the existing human literature on anatomy and function of the Hb. We also discuss challenges and future directions in targeting this small brain structure in both rodents and humans. By combining animal data and human experimental studies, this review addresses the translational potential of preclinical Hb research.

The lateral habenula may play a role in modulating motivated behavior and addiction by modulating dopamine neurotransmission via actions on dopamine neurons in the VTA.
“The lateral habenula may play a role in modulating motivated behavior and addiction by modulating dopamine neurotransmission via actions on dopamine neurons in the VTA (Hikosaka, 2010;Velasquez et al., 2014;Boulos et al., 2017).”
From Drug Addiction: Hyperkatifeia/Negative Reinforcement as a Framework for Medications Development (2021) · cites this paper as Boulos et al., 2017
The ADDICTION section links the lateral habenula to cocaine reward and dependence, while the SCHIZOPHRENIA section describes lateral habenula stimulation altering dopamine-related risk/reward decisions. The DEPRESSION > Rodents section mentions lateral habenula neurons projecting to the VTA, but our copy does not establish that its role in addiction operates by modulating VTA dopamine neurons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
