Stress gates neural activation of BDNF in the mesolimbic reward pathway

BDNF, acting in the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway, promotes susceptibility to stress; however, the mechanisms controlling its release remain unknown. We report that phasic optogenetic activation of this pathway increases BDNF levels in nucleus accumbens (NAc) of socially stressed mice, but not...
