Biography
Research axis: Thalamocortical bases of adaptive behaviors Thalamic determinants of cognition Scientific expertise: Integrated study of animal behaviour, Circuit level analysis, Functional anatomy Projects: Neural bases of goal-directed behaviors Thalamic determinants of Schizophrenia Pathophysiology Ventral Midline Thalamus and Systems-Level Consolidation of Spatial Memories Collaborations: John Dalrymple-Alford, Psychology Department, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Claire Rampon, Research Center on Animal Cognition, Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse Jean-Christophe Cassel, Laboratory of Imaging and Cognitive Neuroscience, Louis Pasteur University, Strasbourg Bruno Poucet, Laboratory of Cognitive Neurosciences, University of Provence Erik J Kremer, Institute of Molecular Genetics of Montpellier Research interests: Biophysics of adhesion and cytoskeleton. Our goal is to understand the role of adhesion proteins and the actin cytoskeleton in the assembly and turnover of multi-molecular complexes at cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix contacts , namely neurexin/neuroligin in the context of synaptogenesis, N-cadherin and immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecules in growth cone migration and dendritic spine morphology, and integrins in the control of cell motility.
