I investigate the effects of both conventional selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and emerging psychedelic therapies, such as LSD, in rodent models. Using a combination of electrophysiological, behavioral, and molecular approaches, I examine the impact of these treatments on the 5-HT system and emotional regulation. Notably, I have shown that in rats, but not in mice, the antidepressant-like effects of LSD are mediated, in part, by activation of the 5-HT2B receptor. Ultimately, my work aims to contribute to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies for treatment-resistant depression.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;26143&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;26147&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h4>Axel Legrand, France<\/h4>\n<p>Our project explores the hypothesis that neuro-invasion of Alphaherpesviruses could trigger or contribute to the formation of Alzheimer-like lesions in the brain.

Notably, I identified a temporal region exhibiting heightened phase-amplitude coupling during a WM task, suggesting its critical role in cognitive representation. Through decoding analysis, I explored the specific cognitive aspects encoded within this region, shedding light on its functional significance. To further elucidate its integration within the broader fronto-temporal network, I employed spectral Granger causality, mapping the directional flow of information within and across the temporal and prefrontal areas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;26159&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;26163&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h4>Eleonora Dallorto, Italy<\/h4>\n<p>My research project deals with the identification of cellular and molecular mechanisms crucial for mitochondrial function in postnatal brain and their implication in cognitive disorders.
