Medial Habenula-Interpeduncular Nucleus Circuit Contributes to Anhedonia-Like Behavior in a Rat Model of Depression [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018 The habenula is a nuclear complex composed of the lateral habenula (LHb) and medial habenula (MHb), two distinct structures. Much progress has been made to emphasize the role of the LHb in the pathogenesis of depression.

Genetic dissection of medial habenula–interpeduncular nucleus pathway function in mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013 The habenular complex linking forebrain and midbrain structures is subdivided into the medial (mHb) and the lateral nuclei (lHb). The mHb is characterized by the expression of specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptor isoforms and the release of ...

The interpeduncular nucleus blunts the rewarding effect of nicotine. [PDF]
Neuron, 2023 Summary Nicotine, by stimulating ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons, has a rewarding effect that drives tobacco consumption. In turn, the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) is thought to become activated at high nicotine doses to restrict drug intake. However, the dynamics of the IPN response to nicotine and

Multiple Regionalized Genes and Their Putative Networks in the Interpeduncular Nucleus Suggest Complex Mechanisms of Neuron Development and Axon Guidance [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 The interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) is a highly conserved limbic structure in the vertebrate brain, located in the isthmus and rhombomere 1. It is formed by various populations that migrate from different sites to the distinct domains within the IPN: the ...

Median raphe serotonergic neurons projecting to the interpeduncular nucleus control preference and aversion [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Appropriate processing of value information is essential for survival. Here the authors show that in mice, serotonergic activations originating from the median raphe nucleus facilitated aversion in a pathway-dependent manner, while silencing this pathway

Prolonged nicotine exposure reduces aversion to the drug in mice by altering nicotinic transmission in the interpeduncular nucleus [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Nicotine intake is likely to result from a balance between the rewarding and aversive properties of the drug, yet the individual differences in neural activity that control aversion to nicotine and their adaptation during the addiction process remain ...

Visual motion and landmark position align with heading direction in the zebrafish interpeduncular nucleus [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSensory information is fundamental for navigation. Visual motion is used by animals to estimate their traveling distance and direction, and landmarks allow animals to tether their location and orientation to their environment.

Netrin-1/DCC Signaling Differentially Regulates the Migration of Pax7, Nkx6.1, Irx2, Otp, and Otx2 Cell Populations in the Developing Interpeduncular Nucleus [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) is a hindbrain structure formed by three main subdivisions, the prodromal (Pro) domain located at the isthmus (Ist), and the rostral and caudal interpeduncular domains (IPR, IPC) within rhombomere 1 (r1).

A Cooperative Mechanism Involving Ca2+-Permeable AMPA Receptors and Retrograde Activation of GABAB Receptors in Interpeduncular Nucleus Plasticity [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: The medial habenula-interpeduncular nucleus (MHb-IPN) pathway, which connects the limbic forebrain to the midbrain, has recently been implicated in aversive behaviors.

Nicotine aversion is mediated by GABAergic interpeduncular nucleus inputs to laterodorsal tegmentum [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Despite its known effects in brain reward centers, nicotine can be aversive in high doses. Here, the authors show that nicotine aversion depends on low-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed on projections from the interpeduncular nucleus ...
