Abstract
The Meffert lab studies mechanisms by which programs of gene expression are synchronously coordinated and maintained to underly enduring changes in brain function. One focus of our research investigates the upstream post-transcriptional processes, coordinated by RNA-binding...

Abstract
The central focus of my lab is in understanding how cortical activity flow impacts normal brain function and diseases of the nervous system such as stroke. My laboratory contributes to understanding how a mouse cortex adapts after stroke, resulting in remapping of brain function from damaged to surviving areas using mouse models. The lab has developed new...

Inserm Research Director
Abstract
"I will describe a decade of research on how functional imaging based on blood flow dynamics actually reports neuronal activation. Our approach is based on two-photon microscopy imaging of cellular activity, functional ultrasound imaging of blood volume (fUS) and BOLD fMRI in the rodent brain."

Abstract:
In the brain, increases in blood flow and oxygenation are correlated to increases in neural activity. While this correlation is extensively used in human brain imaging, the mechanisms underlying the linkage between neural activity and hemodynamics are poorly...
