Abstract

Despite the prevalence of anhedonia across multiple psychiatric disorders, its relevance to treatment selection and prognostication can be unclear (Davey et al., Psychol Med 42(10):2071-81, 2012). Given the challenges in pharmacological and psychosocial treatment, there has been increasing attention devoted to neuroanatomically-targeted treatments. This chapter will present a brief introduction to circuit-targeted therapeutics in psychiatry (Sect. 1), an overview of brain mapping as it relates to anhedonia (Sect. 2), a review of existing studies on brain stimulation for anhedonia (Sect. 3), and a description of emerging approaches to circuit-based neuromodulation for anhedonia (Sect. 4).
