Studied the effects of high-fat diet consumption on dopamine transmission and the reward and motivation system in mice using behavioral tests (operant conditioning, amphetamine-induced locomotor activity)Quantified expression levels of proteins implicated in dopamine transmission by Western Blot.Evaluated the effects of high-fat diet consumption on hippocampus-dependent memory and emotional memory in mice through behavioral tests (novel object recognition task, object-in-place task… Show more Studied the effects of high-fat diet consumption on dopamine transmission and the reward and motivation system in mice using behavioral tests (operant conditioning, amphetamine-induced locomotor activity)Quantified expression levels of proteins implicated in dopamine transmission by Western Blot.Evaluated the effects of high-fat diet consumption on hippocampus-dependent memory and emotional memory in mice through behavioral tests (novel object recognition task, object-in-place task, conditioned odor aversion)Organized and performed statistical analyses of the behavioral data, synthetized them in a scientific report and defended them in front of a jury of neuroscience specialists Show less
