I am hiring a postdoc to work with me on my ERC Starting Grant project DeMARRe - investigating whether exploration or risk-taking in adolescence influence neural circuit development to calibrate psychiatric vulnerability and resilience in adulthood. Details and application at the link below ⬇️

Une "détox de dopamine" pour "réinitialiser son système de récompense" ? Le vocabulaire sonne neuroscientifique, mais habille une injonction à s'optimiser qui est impossible et qui détourne des bonnes questions. J'explique pourquoi dans The Conversation : theconversation.com/pourquoi-vou...

Very proud to share our most recent work, now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉 We show that brief noradrenergic signals in the orbitofrontal cortex, triggered by surprising rewards, support reversal learning and predict how quickly animals adapt. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Orbitofrontal noradrenaline acts as an early gate for reversal learning

Piccin et al. find that surprising rewards trigger brief orbitofrontal noradrenergic bursts whose magnitude predicts reversal learning speed. Targeted manipulation of noradrenergic neurons projecting ...

How does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Deconstruction of a memory engram reveals distinct ensembles recruited at learning - Nature Neuroscience

Pouget et al. identified distinct CA1 neuron ensembles active during specific moments of fear learning and uncovered the core engram essential for memory formation.

Thrilled to share our new paper, out now in @natneuro.nature.com, uncovering how estradiol, the most potent estrogen, modulates reinforcement learning and reward prediction errors across biological levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #blueprint 1/7

Estrogen modulates reward prediction errors and reinforcement learning - Nature Neuroscience

Dopamine encoding of reward prediction errors naturally fluctuates over females’ reproductive cycles with estrogenic signaling due to reduced expression of dopamine reuptake proteins.
