Busquets-Garcia Lab
@bgarcialab.bsky.social
We are located in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park. We want to better understand cell-type specific mechanisms underlying brain physiology and pathology.
This year we will be presenting two oral talks on Friday 28th November:
@imanzanaressierra.bsky.social
with the talk "MODELING CANNABIS-INDUCED PSYCHOTIC-LIKE STATES IN MICE" and
@carlarduaso.bsky.social
with "ASTROGLIAL LIPID METABOLISM: A LINK BETWEEN CANNABINOID DRUGS AND ALZHEIMER DISEASE?".

In addition, I will be giving a talk in an interesting symposium organized by @carmensandi10.bsky.social explaining some ongoing projects of the lab regarding the behavioral effects of cannabinoid drugs.

Tomorrow, our PhD student
Irene Ferreres
will be presenting the poster "Impact of adolescent stress on behaviour
and neuroimmune function" (num. 116). Come to see our posters and discuss our research.

This study suggest that data-driven analysis reveals nuances missed by traditional measures to measure mouse behavior representing a step toward richer, data-driven profiling of mouse behavior.

This study suggest that data-driven analysis reveals nuances missed by traditional measures to measure mouse behavior representing a step toward richer, data-driven profiling of mouse behavior.
The main findings are briefly summarized here:
➡️ Indirect associated cues through second-order conditioning triggers distinct behavioral responses compared to cues directly associated with reinforcer.
➡️ Older mice struggle with second-order conditioning
➡️ Indirect associated cues through second-order conditioning triggers distinct behavioral responses compared to cues directly associated with reinforcer.

We developed a pipeline combining DeepLabCut, Keypoint-MoSeq & DeepOF to study age- and sex-dependent differences in light-tone second-order conditioning in mice.

Our contribution, led by our postdoc @carlarduaso.bsky.social, has been to infuse MitoDREADD in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice, a mouse model of amyloidosis accompanied by cognitive decline, and show how the enhancement of mitochondrial activity reverse memory deficits in this mouse model.
