Tzourio-mazoyer Nathalie

Biography

Nathalie Tzourio-Mazoyer is research director at the CEA and manager of the GIN-IMN team. Neuroimager, she is particularly interested in the understanding of the neural bases of hemispheric specialization of cognitive functions, such as language. MD (1984 Cochin), she completed a master of neurosciences (Pitié-Salpêtrière 1987), and then specialized in nuclear medicine (INSTN 1987-1989). As such, she participated in the Frédéric Joliot hospital department in Orsay in the development of neurofunctional imaging techniques and their application to the study of cerebral bases of cognitive functions. Founding member of the GIN (1989), alongside Bernard Mazoyer and Marc Joliot, she continued her activities in Caen (Cyceron), where she coordinated cognitive neuroimaging and then in Bordeaux since 2010. Her work deals with the study of the anatomical and functional bases of hemispheric specialization in relation to the inter-individual variability of cognitive skills and is based on the most recent neuroimaging methods.
