My main research interest is in coupling cognitive neuroscience (including experimental psychology, computational modeling and neuroimaging) and pharmacological challenges in patients as well as in normal volunteers. I’m also interested in better understanding how […]
My interest lies in the study of structure-function properties of synaptic ligand-gated ion channels, through functional approaches combining electrophysiology, molecular biology, pharmacology and thiol-modifying biochemistry. I am now exploring further this axis with structural […]
Gabriel Lepousez is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on brain plasticity and circuit mechanisms underlying sensory perception and memory. He studied molecular biology at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, received his doctorate in Neuroscience […]
I am studying the olfactory bulb to determine how the brain processes and decodes odor information. My thesis work concentrates on deciphering the nature and function of top-down inputs from the olfactory cortex to […]
After a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Lyon-I in 1995, he joined the Institut Pasteur (Paris) where resorting to dozen identified deafness genes, several of which are involved in Usher syndrome (deafness […]

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 […]
