Anterior cingulate inputs to nucleus accumbens control the social transfer of pain and analgesia

Monique L. Smith et al.

Summary: The study showed that mice can transfer experiences of pain and analgesia during social interactions, with the anterior cingulate cortex and its projections to the nucleus accumbens playing a crucial role. However, the social transfer of fear depends on the connections between the anterior cingulate cortex and the basolateral amygdala, not the ACC -> NAc circuit.

Pain induces adaptations in ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons to drive anhedonia-like behavior

Tamara Markovic et al.

Summary: Anhedonia-like states in inflammatory pain are mediated through decreased activity of mesolimbic dopamine neurons, which are triggered by increased inhibitory control from the rostromedial tegmental nucleus onto ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons. Selective activation of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons can restore motivation and hedonic responses.

Decreased dopaminergic inhibition of pyramidal neurons in anterior cingulate cortex maintains chronic neuropathic pain

Kevin Lancon et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that dopamine, acting through the D1 receptor, inhibits pyramidal neurons in the ACC by modulating HCN channels, leading to a decrease in excitability and an analgesic effect. In chronic neuropathic pain conditions, systemic L-DOPA administration rescues HCN channel activity and normalizes neuronal excitability in the ACC.

Pain modulates dopamine neurons via a spinal-parabrachial-mesencephalic circuit

Hongbin Yang et al.

Summary: This study identifies a neural circuit that conveys nociceptive input to DA neurons through a spinal-parabrachial-mesencephalic connection, regulating the activity of dopamine neurons during pain.
