Unravelling a new fatty acid pathway involved in neuroexocytosis and memory [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Frederic Meunier (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Emma Sierecki

Brief description This proposal build on the establishment by our laboratory of the assay capable of detecting free fatty acids, with great accuracy and sensitivity. Using this assay we have uncovered a completely new pathway highlighting the production of saturated free fatty acids linked to learning and memory. We will fully define how this pathway is regulated in the brain.
