Branchereau Pascal

Biography

He is working on neurology and the research includes Immature central neural networks express spontaneously rhythmic electrical activities underpinned by excitatory synaptic transmission, which mainly involves GABA and glycine, during early development, and during GABA / glycine excitatory transmission to an inhibitory transmission that will persist in adults and which will be responsible for the expression of patterns of mature activities.If the cellular mechanisms responsible for the onset of inhibitory GABA / glycine transmission are now well known in many structures of the central nervous system, the inductive modulators of this excitation / inhibition passage remain little known. his  current work, on the embryonic spinal cord of mice,are aimed at studying certain modulating factors such as electrical activity or the establishment of descending pathways in controlling the tilting of an excitatory to inhibitory transmission in order to analyze the consequences of this control on the functional segregation of spinal networks.
