Thrilled to share this work, long time in the making! Carried through creatively by @siddjakes.bsky.social after initial design & piloting by @trackingskills.bsky.social, with help from @trackingactions.bsky.social. Modeling in collaboration with Massimo Vergassola & Nicola Rigolli.

Les astrocytes jouent un rôle inattendu dans l’obésité En modulant l’activité des astrocytes dans le cerveau de souris obèses, des chercheurs ont montré que ces cellules influent sur la flexibilité cognitive et sur le métabolisme corporel.

Striatal astrocytes modulate behavioral flexibility and whole-body metabolism in mice - Nature Communications Striatal neural circuits control reward-associated behaviors but the role of astrocytes is still unclear. Here, the authors show that chemogenetic manipulation of striatal astrocyte in mice restore ob...

Led by Enrica Montalban, who did a fantastic work, our new paper demonstrate a role for striatal astrocytes in the context of diet-induced obesity in both metabolic and cognitive processes. Thanks to all the collaborators for their work!

Alexander Fjaeldstad and I have a new chapter in the book Smell, Taste, Eat: The Role of the Chemical Senses in Eating Behaviour, edited by @LorenzoDStafford. Lots of great insights here.

From our chapter, it’s clear that smell loss and its impact on ingestion remain vastly underexplored."
