Overview
Mermaid diagram (expand to render)
The Fasciculus Retroflexus (also known as the Habenulopeduncular Tract) is a major fiber tract connecting the habenula to the interpeduncular nucleus. It plays critical roles in reward processing, mood regulation, sleep-wake cycles, and emotional functions. The tract is implicated in major depressive disorder, Parkinson's disease, and other neuropsychiatric conditions. [@lecca2022]
The fasciculus retroflexus (also known as the habenulopeduncular tract) is a major fiber tract connecting the habenula to the interpeduncular nucleus. It is a key component of the limbic system and is critically involved in reward processing, mood regulation, and addiction behaviors. [@proulx2014]
