Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects a significant portion of the world population, being diagnosed mainly through criteria established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Although chronic pain is not among the symptoms of depression described by the DSM, epidemiological studies indicate a close association between MDD and chronic pain. The social defeat…
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects a significant portion of the global population and is primarily diagnosed based on criteria established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Although chronic pain is not listed among the symptoms of depression in the DSM, epidemiological studies have indicated a strong association between depressive disorders and chron…
Major Depressive Disorders (MDD) affect a significant portion of the world population (approximately 4.5%) and are diagnosed using criteria established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Although chronic pain is not among the symptoms of depression, epidemiological studies indicate a close association between MDD and chronic pain. Social Defeat Stress (SDS) mode…
Despite the pain is not one of the symptoms of depression, epidemiological studies indicate a close association between depressive disorder and chronic pain. This is evidenced by the clinical observation that patients with depression have high prevalence of chronic pain and, at the same time, patients suffering from chronic pain are also often diagnosed with depressive disorders. Several …
Periodontal disease is characterized a group of lesions in the tissues that surround and support teeth in their sockets, which can result in tooth loss. The main etiologic agent of periodontal disease is bacterial plaque, but the host response that determines disease susceptibility. Although the host response has meant to be protective, it initiates a cascade of events that can lead to im…
Rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a key structure of the descending pain pathway. Our group described a novel function of the RVM on stress-induced behavioral impairments. We also described a novel projection targeting RVM neurons originating from the lateral habenula (LHb), a structure that works as a relay station interconnecting the limbic forebrain with stress-related monoaminergi…
