Lab description

Our research focus is on the Acquisition and Regulation of Repetitive Behaviors. More specifically, our team study the behavioral and neurophysiological dynamics underlying the automatization of motivated behaviors and its contextual adaptation. We are especially interested in studying how cortico-basal ganglia loops underlie these processes.
Our aims are to investigate in a translational way and at multiple scales:
The phenomenological characterization of repetitive behaviors and their underlying functional dimension
The neural circuits that participate to the acquisition and regulation of repetitive behaviors
The microcircuitry that modulate the neural activity within these circuits
