Brain Circuit That Forces Behavior Into “Repeat Mode” Identified

New research reveals that a specific brain circuit connecting the nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus, and lateral habenula can push behavior into a compulsive “repeat mode.”

When activated, this circuit induces a negative emotional state that makes mice persist in repetitive actions even when rewards are available.

Shutting down the downstream portion of the pathway immediately stops the compulsive behavior, demonstrating its causal role.

These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for how repetitive behaviors emerge and may offer clues for conditions such as OCD and addiction.

Dopamine and Serotonin Drive Emotional Word Processing

A new study reveals how neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are released in the brain during the processing of emotional language.

Researchers observed that emotional words—whether positive, negative, or neutral—trigger specific neurochemical patterns in distinct brain regions, including the thalamus and anterior cingulate cortex.

Surprisingly, even regions not traditionally linked to language processing, like the thalamus, exhibited neurotransmitter activity in response to emotional content.
