- 2021 marks the final year for the Cross Disciplinary Project NeuroCog.Three years of interdisciplinary work between Grenoble laboratories involved in brain research, from neuron to networks and from human to social cognition.Monica Baciu, co-sponsor of the project, presents the objectives and perspectives of this milestone year.
- New publication: "Catplayinginthesnow: Impact of Prior Segmentation on a Model of Visually Grounded Speech.Employementfrom November 19, 2020 to November 20, 2020William Havard, a NeuroCog PhD student under the co-supervision of the LIDILEM - LIG/GETALP laboratories, has just published a third paper in the framework of his thesis for the CoNLL conference, the SIGNLL Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning, which will take place on November 19 and 20, 2020.
- The Faculty of political and social Sciences and The Institute of Psychology offer a Graduate Assistant position in experimental psychology. Our research team (BEAM lab) is developing, in collaboration with the neuro imaging research laboratory (LREN) of the University of Lausanne, a research project that aims to understand the principles of learning-dependent functional and structural brain plasticity in humans.
- Post-doc position: Characterization of molecular determinants and cellular pathways controlling muscle fiber splittingEmployementon the July 21, 2020In advanced stages of muscular dystrophies, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a large subset of muscle fibers shows longitudinal splitting or branching. However, despite critical impact on muscle cytoarchitecture, on vulnerability to contraction-induced damage and on muscle weakening, mechanisms of muscle fibers splitting remain largely unexplored. The goal of this project is to identify molecular determinants and characterize cellular pathways controlling muscle fiber splitting.
- Using microfluidics to reconstruct a Huntington’s disease corticostriatal network, Virlogeux et al. identify recurrent pre- and postsynaptic alterations leading to global circuit dysfunctions and hypersynchrony. They further demonstrate that the genetic status of the presynaptic compartment determines integrity of the network.
- Studying intracellular dynamics in neurons is crucial to better understand how brain circuitscommunicate and adapt to environmental changes. In neurons, axonal secretory vesicles underlievarious functions from growth during development to plasticity in the mature brain. Similarly,transport of mitochondria, the power plant of the cell, regulates both axonal development and synaptichomeostasis.
- Comprendre les connexions descendantes - de la cognition vers la perception- pour des applications sur l’intelligence artificielle, c’est ce à quoi s’est attelée une équipe de chercheurs des laboratoires LPNC, LJK, LIG, Gipsa-Lab de l’Université de Grenoble, LIP6, de l’Université Pierre et Marie Curie, l’université de Nantes et la faculté de santé de Melbourne
From Neurons to Social Cognition in Grenoble
The NeuroCoG project aims to understand the biological, neurophysiological and functional bases of behavioral and cognitive processes in normal and pathological conditions, from cells to networks and from individual to social cognition. NeuroCoG is based on a wide-spectrum interdisciplinary approach (e.g. fundamental and cognitive neuroscience, chemistry, physics, cognitive and social psychology, education, language sciences, computer sciences, applied mathematics, and engineering; as well as clinical specialties such as neurology and psychiatry).
