Animals treated with LHb DBS displayed antidepressant-like response in the FST.
Greater phoshorylation of CaMKII and GSK3 in the LHb correlated with reduced immobility.
Reduced phoshorylation of AMPK in the IL correlated with reduced immobility.
LHb and IL share an inverse relationship with CaMKII, GSK3 and AMPK expression and they contribute to possible antidepressant actions of LHb DBS.
