Ready from Lausanne for the Monday Special & Prize Lectures #FENS2020 FENS Full theatre!

Are mitochondrial social organelles? Social forces shape behavior at a multiple levels of biological complexity... from animal development and behavior to sub-cellular organellar behavior. Carmen Sandi sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Mitochondria are famously the powerhouses of the cell, but they also appear to be closely linked to stress and anxiety. quantamagazine.org/mitochondria-m…

#Motivation: une étude de l'EPFL et de The University of Edinburgh montre que le degré de motivation et la persévérance qui permet de l’entretenir dépendent de la proportion des neurotransmetteurs #glutamine et #glutamate dans le cerveau. actu.epfl.ch/news/quand-les…

Just out from the lab! Glad to share our study on how differences in a mitochondrial molecule (mitofusin 2) determine striatal neuronal structure and function, as well as anxiety and depression phenotypes Congrats Elias Gebara & co-authors for the great work! EPFL Life Sciences NCCR-Synapsy

Our reprint "Mitofusin-2 in N. accumbens regulates anxiety & depression through mitochondrial and neuronal actions" is out: doi.org/10.1016/j.biop… Thanks NCCR-Synapsy for cover: Has the ideal target for treating anxiety been discovered? nccr-synapsy.ch/news/12765/ Elias Gebara

Bravo Silvia M. for sharing your passion for neuroscience! Great and fun video and nice to see as well other lab members at EPFL Brain Mind Institute! NCCR-Synapsy
