Adolescent obesity induces sex-specific alterations of action control https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.29.702500v1
So grateful to share the "first" preprint from the lab. Long overdue but I am very happy about the work which has been done in my team.
We explored how the consumption of different obesogenic diets during adolescence was having long-term impact impact goal-directed and habitual behaviours. A thread

I am attending the #FENS2026 forum in Barcelona next July. And I am over the moon that our symposium with @borglandlab.bsky.social, Serge Luquet and @dr-ahorstmann.bsky.social on "Neurobiological mechanisms on the cognitive control of feeding in the modern food environment" was accepted!

Spent the last two days as an observer on different grant panel boards. First the MRC @ukri.org then the @wellcometrust.bsky.social .
Enriching and genuinely very informative experience I would recommend especially for young PIs.

How does environmental enrichment affect food seeking? We show reduced cue evoked food seeking following just 24hrs of EE accompanied by cell type specific alterations in the mPFC as well as important contributions of a sucrose cue ensemble #fridayscience
