Nicotinic receptors in the medial habenula to interpeduncular nucleus pathway: modulators of reward, aversion and emotion

2025-08-13

Abstract excerpt

The medial habenula to interpeduncular nucleus pathway is a highly conserved and densely innervated brain circuit known for its unique cholinergic transmission and exceptional expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This pathway plays a critical role in regulating motivational and emotional processes, particularly those related to nicotine consumption, avoidance behaviors, and negative emotional states. R...
