Psychologically, happiness can be defined as a state of current well-being and positivity resulting from recent stimuli, as well as long-term life satisfaction and peace of mind. This refers to two aspects of happiness discussed in psychology, first coined by Aristotle, pleasurable happiness known as \"hedonia\" and the long-term happiness of living a good life called \"eudaimonia\". These early concepts break down the vaguer and complex idea of happiness into long-term pleasure and positivity. This is where it starts to get more challenging when we try to define happiness in neurobiological terms. Many regions, pathways and circuits in the brain work in tandem to create the conscious and recognized state of happiness we cognitively perceive as humans. However, happiness is a feeling that transcends species boundaries. It is a positive state of emotions that can be expressed in different ways, including contentedness, peace, pleasure, excitement, relief, joy, and more. To do this, happiness must be broken down into constituent parts, localized to specific neuroanatomical regions, and associated with specific projects and structures to really build the anatomical architecture of happiness. Understanding how emotion is quantified and experimentally studied allows the field of neuroscience to build a comprehensive \"neurobiological happiness model\". Here in this chapter, we discuss historical and novel findings into this emotion; we discuss its implication as an evolutionary advantage in the adaptive response, how laughter is associated with happiness, and how a state of positive well-being plays a role in promoting positive brain health.</p>","PeriodicalId":20598,"journal":{"name":"Progress in brain research","volume":"293 ","pages":"127-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144181214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an exploration of the neurochemical pathways through which positive and negative emotions can influence the physiological characteristics of the BBB, this chapter delves into the multifaceted relationship between emotional states and BBB integrity and permeability. Negative emotions exemplified by stress, chronic anxiety, and depression have shown harmful effects on the BBB, suggesting a state of hyperpermeability that compromises the otherwise conferred protection. Few reports in literature examined the exact molecular mechanisms by which negative emotions exhibit signs of damaged and leaky BBB. Although research deciphering those mechanisms is limited, there is consensus that the disruption of tight junction (TJ) protein integrity and expression, along with neuroinflammatory processes, oxidative Stress, and excitotoxicity, plays a role in the induction of BBB damage. Conversely, positive emotions have been shown to exert protective effects, potentially reversing the increased permeability of the BBB. Compared to the research focused on the neural correlates of negative emotions, the neuroscience literature on positive emotions and well-being is still in its infancy. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which positive emotions modulate the BBB remains necessary. Additionally, we discuss the therapeutic implications of these findings, considering how emotional well-being can be leveraged in developing treatments for neurological disorders.

This chapter explores how EE functions through hormetic mechanisms-where multiple mild stimuli trigger adaptive responses that promote beneficial outcomes. Since Hebb's pioneering work on neuronal ensembles, research has demonstrated that EE enhances neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and neurotrophic factor expression (BDNF and NGF) while modulating inflammatory processes, epigenetic pathways, and metabolic function. These adaptive responses operate according to biphasic dose-response patterns characteristic of hormesis, where moderate stimulation produces benefits that may diminish or become detrimental with excessive exposure. In animal models, EE has shown remarkable efficacy in mitigating cognitive decline, reducing anxiety-like behaviors, attenuating addiction vulnerability, and protecting against neurodegenerative diseases. The modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the shifts in microglial phenotype observed with EE illustrate its role as a hormetic stimulus, as it can act as a mild stressor that promotes adaptive neuroplasticity, enhancing the organism's ability to cope with future stressors. In humans, analogous enrichments through physical exercise, cognitive challenges, social engagement, and music facilitate neuroplasticity, protect against cognitive decline, and promote stress resilience. The hormetic framework also explains why enrichment must be tailored to individual thresholds-excessive stimulation can overwhelm adaptive capacities, transforming beneficial eustress into harmful distress. By understanding EE as a hormetic intervention, this chapter bridges basic neuroscience with translational applications that may enhance resilience against neuropsychiatric disorders typically prevalent in aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":20598,"journal":{"name":"Progress in brain research","volume":"295 ","pages":"189-227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144795179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the world's aging populations grow, with dementia cases expected to double by 2040 and the costs amounting to over €130 billion a year in Europe alone, there is an urgent need for novel strategies to stem the socioeconomic costs of NDDs. Conventional \"one-drug-fits-all\" strategies that depend on late-stage symptom treatment are progressively insufficient for disorders that are marked by heterogeneous molecular pathways and unpredictable clinical courses. Recent improvements in artificial intelligence (AI), multi-omics integration, and biomarker research now allow patients to be stratified into subpopulations following their genetic risk profiles, neuroimaging signatures, and fluid biomarkers (e.g., amyloid-beta, tau, α-synuclein), enabling early diagnosis and focused treatments. For example, artificial intelligence platforms such as the IHI-PROMINENT project are creating forecasting algorithms to chart disease progression and tailor treatment outcomes, and gene therapy and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) address precise mutations in familial AD and PD. These advances are supported by pharmacogenomics, which individualizes drug regimens according to metabolic profiles to reduce side effects and maximize efficacy. Still, translating these advances into practice has major barriers to overcome, such as large-scale biomarker validation, multi-omics standardization, and incorporating real-world evidence from digital health technologies. Aging populations only add complexity to this environment, as comorbidities like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases interact with neurodegenerative pathways, requiring system-based, holistic approaches to care. Equity is still a key challenge: differences in access to sophisticated diagnostics (e.g., PET scans, CSF examination) and expensive therapies (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, CAR-T cell therapy) threaten to worsen global health disparities. In retaliation, initiatives such as the JPND research paradigm advance remote clinical trials and telemedicine platforms for the diverse community in decentralized settings, and policies target reducing financial disincentives through risk-sharing strategies and public-private partnerships. Precision medicine in the treatment of NDDs depends on an integrated network among academia, clinics, and industry, by taking advantage of communal biobanks and AI-enabled big data analysis, for refining the drug development process and validating new targets, e.g., neuroinflammatory signaling and gut-brain axis dysfunction.
