Pathophysiology of synaptic transmission

Through their ability to form and modify their synaptic connections, our neurons are constantly remodelled by our experiences, which modifies our functional neural networks and our interaction with the environment. Our work aims to understand how learning emerges from plasticity, using a multi-scale approach, from the dynamics of synaptic molecules to the cellular and behavioral events that do or do not trigger plasticity. Understanding this plasticity will not only lead to the discovery of new therapies for neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders, but will also provide answers to fundamental questions about cognition.
