The primary somatosensory cortex mediates trigeminal neuralgia induced depressive-like behaviors through an indirect pathway targeting the lateral habenula

Trigeminal neuralgia frequently co-occurs with depression, aggravating clinical outcomes. The primary somatosensory cortex (S1), a key pain-processing region, exhibits hyperactivity linked to chronic pain. Moreover, S1 integrates nociceptive inputs to modulate pain-related affective disturbances. However, it rema...

Deep brain stimulation mechanisms in comorbid pain and emotional dysregulation from animal models

Summary Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a potent neuromodulatory intervention for chronic pain and comorbid affective disorders. This review synthesizes preclinical evidence detailing the neural circuits and molecular cascades engaged by DBS in models of pain and emotional dysregulation. We delineate how DBS-targeting...
