Altered inflammation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), amygdala, hippocampus, insula, and other brain areas has been reported in vivo PET imaging studies in humans. The lateral habenula (LHb) and the dorsal raphe nuclei (DRN), which play an important role in depression, are found to have inflammatory changes in animal studies.
