Research Interest
Our researches concern chronic pain, with a focus on neuropathic pain that arises as a consequence of a lesion or disease of the nervous system. We are studying its treatments, in particular by antidepressant drugs, as well as its affective and anxio-depressive consequences. We also have strong expertise in neuroanatomy, and are studying brain circuits underlying the various components of pain, of emotions and of the control of aminergic systems.
