In humans, tissue injury and depression can both cause pain hypersensitivity, but whether this involves distinct circuits remains unknown. Here, we identify two discrete glutamatergic neuronal circuits in male mice: a projection from the posterior thalamic nucleus (POGlu) to primary somatosensory cortex glutamatergic neurons (S1Glu) mediates allodynia from tissue injury, whereas a pathway from the parafascicular thalamic nucleus (PFGlu) to anterior cingulate cortex GABA-containing neurons to glutamatergic neurons (ACCGABA→Glu) mediates allodynia associated with a depression-like state. In vivo calcium imaging and multi-tetrode electrophysiological recordings reveal that POGlu and PFGlu populations undergo different adaptations in the two conditions. Artificial manipulation of each circuit affects allodynia resulting from either tissue injury or depression-like states, but not both. Our study demonstrates that the distinct thalamocortical circuits POGlu→S1Glu and PFGlu→ACCGABA→Glu subserve allodynia associated with tissue injury and depression-like states, respectively, thus providing insights into the circuit basis of pathological pain resulting from different etiologies.
Figure 1. The PFGlu→ACCGABA→Glu circuit controls allodynia induced by depression-like states.
In this study, the authors dissected the functional organization of the posterior thalamic nucleus (PO)→S1 and PF→ACC circuits and explored the principle of the circuit adaptation in a mouse model of allodynia induced by tissue injury and depression-like states. They used in vivo calcium imaging and multi-tetrode electrophysiological recordings to show that these populations undergo different adaptations in the two states.
