In humans: EEG, EMG, virtual reality; haptic devices; force platform; video-nystagmography; vestibular evoked potentials In animals: Behavioral quantification; analysis of locomotion; video-oculography; in vivo and in vitro electrophysiology; optogenetic;

Team research topics:

Theme 1 : Mul­ti­sen­so­ry inte­gra­tion, Ori­en­ta­tion and Spa­tial Per­cep­tion

• Visuo-hap­tic inte­gra­tion and spa­tial per­cep­tion.

• Visuo-vestibu­lar inter­ac­tions for spa­tial ori­en­ta­tion.

• Influ­ence of grav­i­ty on mul­ti­sen­so­ry inte­gra­tion: weight­less­ness and hyper­grav­i­ty exper­i­ments.

Theme 2 : Cor­ti­cal and sub­cor­ti­cal cir­cuits for spa­tial ori­en­ta­tion

• Role of inhi­bi­tion in the thal­a­mo-pre­subic­u­lar pro­cess­ing of head direc­tion sig­nals.

• Head direc­tion cir­cuit archi­tec­ture and spe­cif­ic role of neu­ronal sub­pop­u­la­tions.

• Visuo-vestibu­lar and spino-vestibu­lar inter­ac­tions; cir­cuits and pro­cess­ing.

Theme 3 : vestibu­lar, ocu­lo­mo­tor & motor patholo­gies

• Motor and locomotor con­trol in humans & ani­mal mod­els.

• Cel­lu­lar deter­mi­nants of vestibu­lar diseases & motion sick­ness

• Mouse mod­el of vestibular disease, Myelin-relat­ed diseases & idio­path­ic nys­tag­mus.

 

Main techniques used:

In humans: EEG, EMG, virtual reality; haptic devices; force platform; video-nystagmography; vestibular evoked potentials.

In animals: behavioral quantification; locomotion analysis; video-oculography; invivo and in vitro electrophysiology, immunohistochemical analysis and anatomical tracing.
