Les Highlights de la Société des Neurosciences sont en ligne, de la neuro à tous les niveaux : de l'épigénétique dans Huntington au réseau de communications ultrasonores des souris africaines; des astrocytes striataux à la mémoire sous endocannabinoïdes.

In case anyone is interested in me or my science, give this a listen.
Some highlights include:
* My love of karaoke
* Talking about the work we are doing in the lab - e.g. trying to build better animal models of compulsivity and, most recently, relapse-resistant behavioural protocols

Grima et al. introduce a novel foraging paradigm to understand how mice can rapidly learn to exploit multi-option environments with varied reward statistics. Decision-making is explained by a model integrating optimal foraging, reinforcement learning, and machine learning. Mesolimbic dopamine best reflects the dynamic global learning rate of the model.
New preprint from the lab, produced in collaboration with Simon Killcross' lab:
Modelling compulsive actions in rats and mice: The back-translation of value-modulated attentional capture from humans to rodents
doi.org/10.31234/osf...
I will be presenting some of this work at Pavlovian next week!
Can we build better models to study compulsivity?
@bradfield-neuro.bsky.social shares her exciting work on how inflammation in brain areas affects compulsive behaviors, as well as her career path, current challenges, favorite hobbies, advice & more! 👩🔬 🧪
