From bile acids to melancholia
Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Li, Zhang, et al.1 find that the bile acid receptor TGR5 in the lateral hypothalamus influences neuronal dynamics underlying stress-induced depression-like behaviors. Inhibition of these neurons produces antidepressant-like effects through a circuit that includes hippocampal CA3 and dorsolateral septum, revealing a novel potential therapeutic for depression.
