The glial cells’ activity reliably tracks with freezing, hesitancy and other behaviors reminiscent of anxiety.

Ghenissa et al. provide evidence that basolateral amygdala astrocytes reliably encode anxiety states. Using simultaneous in vivo calcium recordings across an array of behavioral tasks, combined with g...

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) has long been implicated in threat detection and the generation of anxiety states. While previous experiments have demonstrated the important role of BLA principal neuro...

Le cerveau des mâles et des femelles ne réagit pas de la même manière au stress, démontrent pour la première fois des travaux réalisés à Montréal.

Sleep deprivation shifts metabolic resources and deprioritizes processes that support cognition.

This book gathers methods essential for investigating the multifaceted roles of astrocytes in both physiology and pathological conditions.

Dr. Ciaran Murphy-Royal is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the Université de Montréal and a principal investigator at the Centre de Recherche du Centre Hospitalier de l’Un...

In astrocytes, there exists an intrinsic spatial threshold of subcellular calcium levels that triggers an astrocyte calcium surge throughout the cell, demonstrating cellular astrocyte calcium integrat...

Early-life stress can have lifelong consequences, enhancing stress susceptibility and resulting in behavioural and cognitive deficits. While the effects of early-life stress on neuronal function have ...

Early-career researchers can learn about peer review by discussing preprints at journal clubs and sending feedback to the authors.

Neuroimmune responses to systemic inflammation can generate anxiodepressive behaviors and psychomotor slowing. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a neural hub encoding mood and motivation that contributes...
