Lab description
The brain is modular, and some of its functions emerge from the interconnection and coordination between local and distant modules in these distributed networks. Our team focuses on several brain regions including the cerebellum, the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord.
We study:
- The microscopic organization and dynamics of individual modules in these regions
- Mesoscale network interactions, i.e. how networks communicate with each other in awake animals.
- Network dysfunction in the context of psychiatric and neurological diseases (e.g. ALS, schizophrenia, movement disorders).
We develop state-of-the-art electrophysiological and imaging techniques (two-photon, photostimulation) in vitro and in vivo, using multi-unit recordings.
