Overview

Martine Cador is affiliated with the University of Bordeaux in France. Their research spans several interconnected fields, focusing primarily on neuroscience and medicine, with significant contributions also in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.

Their work covers a range of topics including neurotransmitter receptor influence on behavior, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors study, receptor mechanisms and signaling, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, biochemical analysis and sensing techniques, as well as traumatic brain injury research and neurovascular disturbances.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Martine Cador include Stéphanie Caillé, Florence Darlot, Salma Tannous, André Obenaus, and Beatriz Rodriguez-Grande.

Martine Cador has published in several notable venues, with repeated contributions to Psychopharmacology and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Other publication venues include Cell Metabolism, Acta Neuropathologica Communications, and Cerveau & Psycho.

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Martine Cador include:

  • Circulating Triglycerides Gate Dopamine-Associated Behaviors through DRD2-Expressing Neurons, 2020, Cell Metabolism
  • Flavor additives facilitate oral self-administration of nicotine solution in mice, 2021, Psychopharmacology
  • A single mild juvenile TBI in male mice leads to regional brain tissue abnormalities at 12 months of age that correlate with cognitive impairment at the middle age, 2023, Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • Poor inhibitory control predicts sex-specific vulnerability to nicotine rewarding properties in mice, 2023, Psychopharmacology
  • Poor attentional control as a sex-specific biomarker to assess vulnerability to nicotine addiction in mice, 2022, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Their research fields emphasize cellular and molecular neuroscience and molecular biology, along with nutrition and dietetics, epidemiology, and neurology as important subfields. This multidisciplinary approach is reflected by a focus on biochemical and neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying behavior and brain injury.
