After more than 4 years, I finally defended my PhD yesterday in front of a fantastic jury and my amazing friends and colleagues. My greatest thanks go to the @MarsicanoLab and my mentor and friend Francis Chaouloff. 🫶

Delighted to present our first study on the engram! If you’d like to learn how the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is involved in PTSD-related memory disorders, be sure to check it out!!! https://t.co/Tbo130eQMz

Why female-specific research is critical to understand addiction?

For decades, females were basically ignored in addiction neuroscience. Then, thanks to the NIH SABV mandates almost exactly 10 years ago, researchers started including females, and things got intriguing, some evidence suggested the estrous cycle may influence the motivation to take cocaine.

Our lab just published a paper in @PsychopharmEBPS, led by Dr. Elizabeth Sneddon @esneddon21, that forces us to rethink this relationship. We tested whether estrous phase influences cocaine self-administration in our Heterogeneous Stock (HS) rat model, using over 400 female rats, one of the largest female cocaine datasets ever generated.

The answer: no. Estrous phase had no association with cocaine intake during short access, long access, or progressive ratio sessions. High vs. low estrogen groupings? No difference. This is a null finding and null findings matter. But the story gets far more interesting.

Excited to see my PhD research out in Molecular Psychiatry!
Grateful for all who supported this work!

Today we say goodbye to @talpaca13, after her stay in the lab for the last 6 months! We are going to miss you, come back soon!

Doctor Sandra Beriain, congrats for a successful defense of her thesis on the role of CB1 receptors in the retina! She will continue to working the lab for a few months to finish up things, and then she will be on the job market!

@CelineNicolas2 @CNRS @Neuro_Bordeaux Encore bravo 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Ardem Patapoutian @ardemp]

My first seminar as an ambassador/fellow of @CNRS was very enjoyable. I love how @iins_bordeaux focuses on neuroscience from single molecules to behavior. I especially enjoyed chatting with the enthusiastic students at lunch.
