My main goal is to understand how experience and sensory perception shape brain circuits to trigger behaviour. To tackle these questions, I implement different technical tools including a combination of behavioral analysis, viral vector […]
After a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Lyon-I in 1995, Dr Aziz El-Amraoui joined the Institut Pasteur (Paris) where resorting to dozen identified deafness genes as entry points has enabled him to […]

Much of our adult behaviors reflect the state of neural circuits sculpted by sensory experience in infancy and early childhood. At no other time in life does the surrounding environment so potently shape most […]
This is an example of transplanted human iPSC derived cells.
I was trained as a chemist and did my PhD (Paris) and post-doctoral fellowship (Brighton) in organic synthesis. He then joined the Pasteur Institute as a CNRS researcher to work on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, […]
Having begun my research career investigating mitochondria in plants and then neurological diseases, I discovered the first mutations of the NLGN3, NLGN4X and SHANK3 genes in autism highlighting the main role of the synapse […]
