Stress is complicated, right? @USkupio @ampolter & I had a hard think about the way acute & chronic stress impacts the different neural populations in the VTA & I’m really pleased with what we came up with. Just published in TINS. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/c/1lRWi…

This is a great story about what astrocytes and cannabinoids have to do with social transmission of stress in mice, be sure to check it out! Big congratulations Paula and all co-authors!

My PhD is out in @NatureComms! We showed that social transmission of stress in male mice impairs memory retrieval through a mitoCB1 mechanism in olfactory bulb astrocytes. Special thanks to @MarsicanoLab and @stressynomics, and to all the people involved! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I am eally thrilled to share my first postdoctoral paper out in @NatureComms. Incredible collaborative effort! Many thanks to all the people involved and especially to @MarsicanoLab and Lisa Roux (first paper of the lab 🥳). nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Endogenous cannabinoids in the piriform cortex tune olfactory perception

Endogenous cannabinoids in the piriform cortex tune olfactory perception

Nature Communications - Whether and how cannabinoid type-1 receptors impact sensory functions in vivo is largely unknown. Here, authors show that their endogenous activity controls network dynamics...

We assumed that the molecular mechanism of this impairment relies on CB1-dependent regulation of mitochondrial respiration, as seen with exogenous cannabinoid injection (as shown in Hebert-Chatelain et al, Nature, 2016), however, to our surprise...🥁 it doesn't! 3/4

Instead, our data indicates that corticosterone-induced impairment of object recognition relies on CB1-dependent regulation of mitochondrial calcium dynamics. This suggests that exogenous and endogenous cannabinoids might act through different mechanisms in the brain! 4/4

And another review out from our team! This time about endocannabinoid signaling in astrocytes, coordinated by @ErasoAbel together with @Pouvreau_S, Alex Pinto, @Neurocuriously and @USkupio! Give it a read if you like! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Endocannabinoid signaling in astrocytes

Endocannabinoid signaling in astrocytes

Astrocytes have a functional and diverse endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoids are able to interact with astrocytes to modulate their functions and their communication with neurons.
