Introduction

The medial habenula (MHb) is a small but critical epithalamic structure that plays essential roles in mood regulation, reward processing, pain perception, and stress responses. This region is increasingly recognized for its involvement in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly those affecting mood, motivation, and autonomic function. The MHb serves as a key interface between the forebrain and midbrain, integrating diverse sensory and emotional information. [@sartorius2010]

Neuroanatomy

Location and Structure


The habenula consists of two main nuclei: [@hikosaka2010]
  • Medial habenula (MHb): Dorsal position, smaller size
  • Lateral habenula (LHb): Ventral position, larger
