Textbooks said neurons don’t burn fatty acids for energy🤔. Our study delivers the first in vivo demonstration that fatty acid oxidation in defined memory neurons fuels memory formation.

Closing chapter of my PhD 🥳, out today in Nature Metabolism💥 @natmetabolism.nature.com
Neuronal fatty acid oxidation fuels memory after intensive learning in Drosophila - Nature Metabolism
Neurons are shown to use fatty acid β-oxidation as a fuel source for memory formation upon intensive learning in Drosophila, challenging the view that neurons are unable to use fatty acids for energy ...

Delighted to be part of this work from the Lopes lab identifying nucleoplasmic Lamin A/C as a key regulator of replication fork plasticity, acting via de novo heterochromatin and ADP-ribosylation to control RECQ1-mediated fork restart. Now in Nature Comm. 🎉Special efforts: @joannapaulson.bsky.social
