26 Novembre 2021 – Michael Zugaro (Collège de France) – Hippocampo-cortical dynamics underlying memory formation and consolidation
The hippocampus is a limbic structure that plays a critical role in the formation, consolidation and recall of various forms of memory, including episodic and spatial memory. How do such complex cognitive functions emerge from the activity of hippocampal neurons… Continue reading

5 Novembre 2021 – Brice Bathellier (Institut de l’Audition, Paris) – Distinctive computational features of a sensory cortex and their role in perception
The cortex is modern invention of the mammalian brain and a major focus of modern neuroscience. Yet, its role in important functions such as sensory perception has been challenged by numerous cortical inactivation experiments resulting in a lack of effect… Continue reading

29 Octobre 2021 – Daniel Schulz (Neuro-PSI, Université Paris-Saclay) – Studying tactile feature encoding in the somatosensory cortex for optimizing a closed-loop brain-machine interface in mice
Tactile information is acquired and processed in the brain through concerted interactions between movement and sensation. We study neuronal processes responsible for the coding of sensorimotor information in the barrel cortex of rodents by using a comprehensive approach including electrophysiological,… Continue reading

22 Octobre 2021 – Anita Lüthi (Université de Lausanne, Suisse) – When the locus coeruleus speaks up in sleep: advancing the neurobiology of sensory vigilance
There is no doubt that sleep is quite the opposite of wakefulness. Behaviorally, meaningful interactions with the environment are suppressed; neurobiologically, wake-promoting brain areas are silent. However, since decades we know that at least some wake-promoting areas continue to discharge action potentials… Continue reading

15 Octobre 2021 – German Sumbre (ENS, Paris) – Principles of functional circuit connectivity: Insights from the zebrafish optic tectum
Spontaneous neuronal activity in sensory brain regions is spatiotemporally structured, suggesting that this ongoing activity may have a functional role. Nevertheless, the neuronal interactions underlying these spontaneous activity patterns, and their biological relevance, remain elusive. We addressed these questions using… Continue reading

8 Octobre 2021 – Laurent Venance (Collège de France, Paris) – Striatal synaptic plasticity and procedural learning
Our main interest is how neural networks of the brain support its cognitive capacities. We are focusing on the procedural learning, i.e. the acquisition of skills through repeated performance and practice of a behavior in response to external cues. Cortex/thamus-basal… Continue reading

1er Octobre 2021 – Alberto Bacci (ICM, Paris) – Connectivity and plasticity of neocortical basket cells
In the neocortex, perisomatic inhibition onto principal pyramidal neurons (PNs) determines the dynamic range of pyramidal neuron responses during sensory processing and drive several forms of network oscillations, believed to be the network correlate of several cognitive functions. The inhibitory… Continue reading

24 Septembre 2021 – Séverine Boillée (ICM, Paris) – Modifying macrophages at the periphery has the capacity to modify microglial reactivity and to extend ALS mouse survival
Microglia, the macrophage of the CNS and peripheral macrophages, combined, have been implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the most common adult-onset motor neuron disease, but without discriminating their respective roles. Since we have shown that microglial cells participated to… Continue reading
