We use different animal models and viral transduction strategies to dissect the neuronal sub-networks specifically involved in thalamic functions, determine their functional properties using in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological techniques, manipulate

Team research topics:

All cerebral functions rely on interconnections between different brain regions. In this complex process of information exchange and integration, the thalamus acts as a crossroads and integration hub for virtually the entire nervous system. Our team seeks to understand how this structure functions, from molecules (ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, etc.) to behaviors (control of alertness states, sensory perception, etc.) and associated pathologies (absence epilepsy, neuropathy, etc.).

 

Main techniques used :

We use different animal models and viral transduction strategies to dissect the neuronal sub-networks specifically involved in thalamus functions, determining their functional properties by electrophysiological techniques.
