Yang W, Singla R, Maheshwari O, Fontaine C, Gil-Mohapel J
Biomedicines . 2022 May; 10(5). PMID: 35625928
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) encompasses the dysregulation of multiple brain circuits involved in executive function leading to excessive consumption of alcohol, despite negative health and social consequences and feelings of...

J Neurophysiol . 2021 Sep; 126(5):1622-1634. PMID: 34495785
Choline is an essential nutrient under evaluation as a cognitive enhancing treatment for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) in clinical trials. As a result, there is increased pressure to identify...

Fontaine C, Grafe E, Pinar C, Bonilla-Del Rio I, Grandes P, Christie B
Learn Mem . 2020 Aug; 27(9):380-389. PMID: 32817304
Cannabinoid receptors are widely expressed throughout the hippocampal formation, but are particularly dense in the dentate gyrus (DG) subregion. We, and others, have shown in mice that cannabinoid type 1...

Penasco S, Rico-Barrio I, Puente N, Fontaine C, Ramos A, Reguero L, et al.
Neuropsychopharmacology . 2019 Oct; 45(2):309-318. PMID: 31569197
Binge drinking is a significant problem in adolescent populations, and because of the reciprocal interactions between ethanol (EtOH) consumption and the endocannabinoid (eCB) system, we sought to determine if adolescent...

Fontaine C, Pinar C, Yang W, Pang A, Suesser K, Choi J, et al.
Alcohol Clin Exp Res . 2019 Aug; 43(10):2153-2166. PMID: 31386206
Background: The hippocampus is particularly vulnerable to the teratogenic effects of prenatal ethanol exposure (PNEE), and hippocampal structural and functional deficits are thought to contribute to the learning and memory...

Penasco S, Rico-Barrio I, Puente N, Gomez-Urquijo S, Fontaine C, Egana-Huguet J, et al.
Neuropharmacology . 2019 Apr; 153:32-40. PMID: 31022405
The endocannabinoid system modulates synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, but a link between long-term synaptic plasticity and the type 1 cannabinoid (CB) receptor at medial perforant path (MPP) synapses remains...

Gretzinger T, Tyagi M, Fontaine C, Cheema M, Gonzalez-Perez M, Freeman M, et al.
Biochem Cell Biol . 2019 Jan; 97(4):431-436. PMID: 30605356
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is caused by prenatal exposure to ethanol and has been linked to neurodevelopmental impairments. Alcohol has the potential to alter some of the epigenetic components...

Pinar C, Yau S, Sharp Z, Shamei A, Fontaine C, Meconi A, et al.
Brain Plast . 2019 Jan; 4(2):185-195. PMID: 30598869
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability that can be traced to a single gene mutation. This disorder is caused by the hypermethylation of...

Addict Biol . 2018 Aug; 24(5):969-980. PMID: 30106197
Binge drinking (BD) is a common pattern of ethanol (EtOH) consumption by adolescents. The brain effects of the acute EtOH exposure are well-studied; however, the long-lasting cognitive and neurobehavioral consequences...

Brain Plast . 2018 May; 1(1):97-127. PMID: 29765836
In this review, the benefits of physical exercise on structural and functional plasticity in the hippocampus are discussed. The evidence is clear that voluntary exercise in rats and mice can...
