'Untangling the multifaceted VTA responses to stress' by Urszula Skupio @USkupio, Alexander Harris @dr_alexharris & Abigail Polter @ampolter cell.com/trends/neurosc…

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/1lRWibotq7naL

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!

NCL lab retreat 2024! This year with an amazing view, great discussions and delicious lunch prepared by Alex!

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/s4146…

We are pleased to congratulate @GeoffreyTerral of @EinsteinMed on joining the 2023 cohort of #leonlevyscholars selected for the Leon Levy Scholarships in #Neuroscience, in partnership with the Leon Levy Foundation. 👏 Read more: bit.nyas.org/3N8migH

NCL lab retreat 😎 We trained to give brief talks about our projects, discussed science, ate delicious BBQ and hiked!

Congratulations @GeoffreyTerral !!!!🥳

we had a great time celebrating our lab techs today!!!

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

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

I am so excited to share with you our latest story with @MarsicanoLab published in @NeuroCellPress! For those interested, full free access text here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1gzV53BtfH5L… check🧵for a short summary! 1/4

@Neurocuriously That sounds like me coding in matlab recently 😂😂😂

There are days that I hyperfocus for 10h and I don't realize time passes until my retinas start to burn but I still get virtually nothing done 😭

Today we had a lab picnic and said goodbye to Alan who is starting his lab soon! Congratulations and good luck @APNeuro!!!

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/10.1002/gl…

We are attending #FENS2022! @FENSorg These is a summary of the posters our lab members are presenting, looking forward to discuss in person with all of you interested in endocannabinoids! @Imane_Hurel @Neurocuriously

Hello science twitter! 🧠😃 We are excited to launch our new lab account where we will share exciting science in the field of stress and reward systems as well as updates from our daily lab life!

@dr_alexharris check out the website here! sites.google.com/view/neuralcir…

So excited to have @USkupio join my lab! To take a break from battling the bureaucracy to get approved to work with mice, she redesigned our lab website 😍Give her a follow!

This year during symposium of @NCMagendie we presented new exciting data about the role of CB1 in different effects of stress!
