Predicting Future Development of Stress-Induced Anhedonia From Cortical Dynamics and Facial Expression Open
The current state of mental health treatment for individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder leaves billions of individuals with first-line therapies that are ineffective or burdened with undesirable side effects. One major obstac…

Quantitative assessment of hippocampal network dynamics by combining Voltage Sensitive Dye Imaging and Optimal Transportation Theory Open
For many years, voltage sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) has enabled the fruitful analysis of neuronal transmission by monitoring the spreading of neuronal signals. Although useful, the display of diffusion of neuronal depolarization provides …

ER-mitochondria contacts underline cannabinoid regulation of calcium signaling in astrocytes Open
Intracellular calcium signaling underlies the astroglial control of brain functions. However, the cellular mechanisms regulating calcium handling by astrocytes are far from being understood. Mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts (MER…

Adult-born neurons immature during learning are necessary for remote memory reconsolidation in rats Open
Memory reconsolidation, the process by which memories are again stabilized after being reactivated, has strengthened the idea that memory stabilization is a highly plastic process. To date, the molecular and cellular bases of reconsolidati…

Astroglial calcium transfer from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria determines synaptic integration Open
Summary Intracellular calcium signaling underlies the astroglial control of synaptic transmission and plasticity. Mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts (MERCs) are key determinants of calcium dynamics, but their functional impact on …

POMC neurons functional heterogeneity relies on mTORC1 signaling Open
Hypothalamic Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are classically known to trigger satiety. However, they encompass heterogeneous subpopulations whose functions are unknown. Here we show that POMC neurons releasing GABA, glutamate or both n…

mTORC1 and CB1 receptor signaling regulate excitatory glutamatergic inputs onto the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in response to energy availability Open
These findings pinpoint the relationship between mTORC1 and endocannabinoid-CB1R signaling in the regulation of the POMC-mediated glutamatergic inputs onto PVN parvocellular neurons and its rapid alteration in conditions favoring the devel…
