Reconsidering anhedonia in depression: Lessons from translational neuroscience
Open accessAbstract
Anhedonia is a core symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD), the neurobiological mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. Despite decades of speculation regarding the role of dopamine (DA) in anhedonic symptoms, empirical evidence has remained elusive, with frequent reports of contradictory findings. In the present review, we argue that this has resulted from an underspecified definition of anhedonia, which has failed to dissociate between consummatory and motivational aspects of reward behavior. Given substantial preclinical evidence that DA is involved primarily in motivational aspects of reward, we suggest that a refined definition of anhedonia that distinguishes between deficits in pleasure and motivation is essential for the purposes of identifying its neurobiological substrates. Moreover, bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical models of anhedonia may require moving away from the conceptualization of anhedonia as a steady-state, mood-like phenomena. Consequently, we introduce the term "decisional anhedonia" to address the influence of anhedonia on reward decision-making. These proposed modifications to the theoretical definition of anhedonia have implications for research, assessment and treatment of MDD.

Anhedonia and impaired reward circuit pathways are associated with a poorer prognosis and suboptimal treatment response.
“Anhedonia and impaired reward circuit pathways are associated with a poorer prognosis and suboptimal treatment response (Buckner et al., 2008;Uher et al., 2012;Treadway and Zald, 2011).”

The Introduction (page unavailable) says anhedonic symptoms predict poor treatment response and that first-line treatments may not adequately address reward-processing deficits. It also describes reward-circuit abnormalities in depression, but does not establish that those abnormalities predict poorer prognosis or treatment response. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredStudies of the neurobiology of reward processing have identified separate subtypes of anhedonia: consummatory, anticipatory, motivational, and decisional.
“studies of the neurobiology of reward processing have highlighted the variety of distinct pathways involved in its different aspects resulting in the recognition of separate subtypes of anhedonia, including consummatory, anticipatory, motivational and decisional [20,21].”
From Prefrontal cortex and depression (2022) · cites this paper as [20]
The Research Highlights (section 6; page unavailable) propose motivational and consummatory anhedonia and introduce decisional anhedonia. Section 2.2 discusses anticipatory pleasure but says it is unclear whether that is the same construct as reward motivation; the paper does not establish anticipatory anhedonia as a fourth separate subtype. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAnhedonia includes deficits in anticipation, motivation, responsiveness to reward, and reward learning.
“Anhedonia is a broad construct that includes deficits in anticipation of, motivation toward, and responsiveness to reward, as well as deficits in reward learning (ability to recall and make decisions based on past rewarding experiences) (Treadway and Zald, 2011) and is estimated to be 46% heritable in studies of monozygotic twins (Bogdan and Pizzagalli, 2009).”

Abnormal dopamine release in responses to reward, aversion, and cognitive demand is a plausible mechanism explaining many depression symptoms.
“Dysregulation of dopamine release in motivating responses to rewarding and aversive stimuli, as well as cognitive demand, is a plausible mechanistic cause that can explain a range of depression symptoms [24][25][26][27][28][29].”

Although both DA and non-DA agents can effectively treat mood disorders, DA agents generally have superior effects on symptoms of anhedonia compared with non-DA agents.
“Particularly relevant in the present context are previous reports [290,296,297] that although both DA and non-DA agents can be used to effectively treat mood disorders, DA agents generally have superior effects on symptoms of anhedonia, specifically when compared with non-DA agents [19,298-300].”

Many patients with schizophrenia or Parkinson's, and possibly some with major depression, are not actually anhedonic: they report normal sensory pleasure ratings of ice cream or other sensory reward in the moment, even though they attach little value to any sensory, social or other pleasant reward in life.
“However, recent studies suggest that many patients with schizophrenia or Parkinson’s, and possibly some with major depression, are not actually anhedonic after all: they report normal sensory pleasure ratings of ice cream or other sensory reward in the moment, even though they attach little value to any sensory, social or other pleasant reward in life.”

“These data suggest that despite apparent correlations between stimulant-induced DA release and subjective euphoria (Drevets et al., 2001), this result is mediated by downstream effects on opioid function, and is unlikely to be a direct consequence of increased extracellular DA (Volkow et al., 1996).”

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.
