We also found a good correspondence concerning relative 5‐HT1A and 5‐HT2 distributions in the Ce and MDT, though not in the Acb of both species. Notably, deep brain stimulation of the Acb had antidepressant and antianhedonic effects in patients with treatment‐resistant depression (Bewernick et al. 2010) and in a rat model of depression (Hamani et al. 2012; Lim et al. 2015). The gene discussed is HTR2A; the disease is major depressive disorder.
