Sommario/riassunto

L’autrice s’intéresse dans cet ouvrage à l’exploitation du renne en France lors de la dernière période froide du Paléolithique (30000-15000 cal BP). Elle démontre que l’économie des ressources animales était fondée sur l’exploitation d’un renne non migrateur et sur une stratégie de chasse à faible risque, qui n’ont pas varié significativement



durant 15 000 ans. Elle défend l’hypothèse de groupes humains moins mobiles que ce qui a été envisagé jusque-là, au moins dans le grand Sud-Ouest, en raison de la mobilité réduite des rennes et d’un environnement particulier. Enfin, elle propose une reconstitution du cycle annuel de nomadisme des groupes du Massif central et discute de sa particularité.  In this book, the author focuses on the exploitation of reindeer in France during the last cold period of the Palaeolithic (30000-15000 cal BP). She demonstrates that the economy of animal resources was based on the exploitation of a non-migratory reindeer and on a low-risk hunting strategy, which did not vary significantly over 15,000 years. She defends the hypothesis that human groups were less mobile than previously thought, at least in the great Southwest, due to the reduced mobility of the reindeer and a particular environment. Finally, it proposes a reconstruction of the annual cycle of nomadism of the groups of the Massif Central and discusses its particularity.  En este libro, la autora se centra en la explotación del reno en Francia durante el último periodo frío del Paleolítico (30000-15000 cal BP). Demuestra que la economía de los recursos animales se basaba en la explotación de un reno no migratorio y en una estrategia de caza de bajo riesgo, que no varió significativamente a lo largo de 15.000 años. Defiende la hipótesis de que los grupos humanos eran menos móviles de lo que se pensaba, al menos en el gran Suroeste, debido a la reducida movilidad de los renos y a un entorno particular. Por último, propone una reconstrucción del ciclo anual de nomadismo de los…

Sommario/riassunto

The neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the most common forms of dementia and no pharmacological treatments are to date available for these diseases. Indeed, the only used drugs are symptomatic and no useful to block the progression of the diseases. The lack of a therapeutic approach is also due to a lack of an early diagnosis. This Research Topic describes a new target that is involved in the firs step of these disorders and that can be useful for the treatment and the diagnosis of such pathologies: the cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 or CB2R. Indeed, CB2R is overexpressed in reactive microglia and activated astrocytes during neuroinflammation and thus their detection by PET probes can be an easily strategy for an early diagnosis of neurodegeneration. Moreover, CB2 agonists and inverse agonists displayed neuroprotective effects and they so can be candidated as new therapeutich drugs for the treatment of these pathologies. Therefore, the aim of this Research Topic is to show the great potential of CB2R ligands for the development of new tools/drugs for both the therapy and the diagnosis of neurodegeneration.
