Efectos de la estimulación eléctrica habenular en la modulación de respuestas emocionales en ratas Wistar.

Resumen

A pesar del amplio uso de la estimulación cerebral profunda para controlar patologías neurológicas y neuropsiquiátricas, su mecanismo de acción aún no es claramente conocido, y existen pocos estudios sistemáticos que relacionen la variación de parámetros de estimulación eléctrica (frecuencia, intensidad, duración del pulso) y la ejecución comportamental. La habénula es una estructura reguladora de respuestas emocionales diana en tratamientos para dolor crónico y depresión, pero la relación entre su estimulación crónica y el desempeño animal en pruebas conductuales no se ha establecido con claridad. Con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto emocional de la estimulación habenular crónica, en este estudio se utilizaron ratas Wistar que recibieron estimulación habenular a intensidad baja (10-80 µA) o alta (120-260 µA) y frecuencia baja (80-150 Hz) o alta (240- 380 Hz): BIBF-AIBF-BIAF-AIAF, durante 15 minutos a lo largo de tres días consecutivos. Al cuarto día, se hizo la evaluación en un laberinto elevado en cruz y en campo abierto. Los resultados indican un efecto de tipo ansiolítico en el tratamiento BIAF, en comparación con BIBF y AIBF (aumento del número de entradas, porcentaje de tiempo en brazos abiertos y de la distancia recorrida en ellos), efecto que no se explica por cambios en la locomotricidad (distancia recorrida en los brazos cerrados y la exploración en el campo abierto). Se concluye que el parámetro frecuencia posee mayor impacto sobre el efecto comportamental que la intensidad "lo que puede explicar algunos hallazgos paradójicos previos", que los parámetros utilizados no poseen efecto ansiogénico, y que los efectos potencialmente ansiogénicos de la estimulación a baja frecuencia y el papel de los sistemas dopaminérgicos y serotoninérgicos encontrados deben ser estudiados en futuras investigaciones.
