Synaptic and cellular profile of neurons in the lateral habenula.

Synaptic and cellular profile of neurons in the lateral habenula.

The lateral habenula (LHb) is emerging as a crucial structure capable of conveying rewarding and aversive information. Recent evidence indicates that a rapid increase in the activity of LHb neurons drives negative states and avoidance. Furthermore, the hyperexcitability of neurons in the lateral hab...
