    Reconsidering anhedonia in depression: lessons from translational neuroscience

    Treadway MT, Zald DH

    Published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

    Key Findings

    Anhedonia and emotional numbing reflect deficits in reward motivation mediated by mesolimbic dopamine rather than in hedonic capacity alone.

    Conclusions

    Emotional numbness should be assessed as a distinct reward-system symptom, not merely low mood.

    Limitations

    Conceptual review; limited clinical trial data.
