2022. Jonathan Elegheert and his team investigate how neuronal cells in the brain make contacts and communicate with each other. They study the molecular structures and interaction determinants of synaptic protein complexes involved in neurodevelopmental disorders and neuronal disease....
2022. Rejane Rua and her team aim to unravel the remarkable complexity and plasticity of the brain immune sentinels’ functions in health and disease. In particular, they study the meninges, a tissue at the brain surface that is a key player in immune surveillance of the brain. They study its...
2021. Filippo Del Bene and his research group are interested in the formation and function of neurl circuits in the visual system using the zebrafish model system. They focus their analysis on the retinal ganglion cells, the cells connecting the retina to the brain, and on the main retinorecipient...
2021. The goal of Lisa Roux and her team is to identify the network mechanisms underlying the formation of olfactory memory traces across distributed brain regions. More generally, it aims at understanding how sensory information is routed and processed in the brain to integrate lasting memories....
2020. With her team, Gabrielle Girardeau investigates the role of sleep for the consolidation of emotional memory, the gradual reinforcement and transformation of memories after the initial event. To do so, the team records the activity of a large number of neurons in the brain of sleeping rats, and try...
2019. Stefano Palminteri and his team are studying biases in human learning and decision-making. More specifically, they are deciphering the cognitive mechanisms and neuronal bases of these cognitive biases by combining experimental psychology, mathematical modelling and brain imaging....
2019. Sonia Garel and her team work to figure out the mechanisms that regulate the assembly of neural circuits during embryogenesis and after birth, with a particular focus on interactions with the brain's immune cells called microglia. They examine how development programs and microglia coordinate the assembly of millions of...

We each have two versions or alleles of each gene, one from our father, one from our mother. Parental genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism that restrains the expression of an allele depending on its origin, paternal or maternal. The alteration of this process at defined loci results in different...
