Obesogenic diet impairs memory consolidation via the hippocampal endocannabinoid system
Although obesogenic high-fat/high-sugar diets impair memory function in humans and rodents, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Given that the b…

When you start your lab, nobody has taught you how to supervise or overcome multiple difficulties of a PhD. I am happy that today the first PhD from my lab was well defended. Congrats Laura! Many thanks to @carlessaura.bsky.social , Ester Aso and @miriammelis.bsky.social for an inspiring discussion.

The wildfire touching Marseille prevented me to be in the symposium, to share our project linking astrocytes, cannabinoid drugs and Alzheimer disease and to attend to the interesting @gliameeting.bsky.social ! I am sure the symposium conducted by @murphyroyallab.org has been a success!
Together with Ciaran @murphyroyallab.org, from the Université de Montreal, we are co-chairing today the Symposium "Understanding the roles of astrocytes in cognition and behaviour across the lifespan" in the @gliameeting.bsky.social in Marseille.

Did you ever wonder why we often feel ungrounded attraction or aversion by certain places, smells, or foods?
Our brain does that by infering value from indirect associations in a process called higher-order conditioning.
🧵Here’s what we found using an specific paradigm in mice:
