Research Interest
Research interests: Using electrophysiological recordings in rats and mice from several dozens of neocortical and hippocampal neurons at the same time, we try to understand how local microcircuits are functionnally organized, interact and participate in various cognitive behaviors. Recording from immature animals, we also investigate the effects of neuronal activity on the building of cortical circuits during development.
