thesis
PhD in the laboratory of Sensory Perception and Plasticity, Professor Alan Carleton (Department of fundamental neurosciences, University of Geneva) Study how brain signals translate to behaviour using in-vivo electrophysiological recordings of brain activity during various behavioural and cognitive tasks. Focus on the role of the claustrum, a poorly studied brain area, and the impact of modulating its activity using opto- and chemogenetic tools on executive functions Responsible for managing and ordering laboratory supplies
