Memory, Plasticity and Development

Synaptic plasticity

Toth and Béïque: plasticity in the hippocampus and at synapses more generally, as well as in dendritic computations.

Lewis, Maler, Longtin: plasticity in the electro sensory system

Naud, Longtin: learning rules in cortex, machine learning for estimating plasticity dynamics

Fogel: memory consolidation in sleep

Maler, Béïque, Longtin: path learning in mice, function of the dentate gyrus in pattern separation

Thivierge: pattern separation in higher visual cortical areas for image discrimination

Neurodevelopment

Saghatelyan: neural stem cell activation, migration, maturation and integration into functional circuitry

Colavita and Perkins: establishment of neuronal cell morphology and, at a larger scale, in the morphogenesis of the ventral nerve cord in C. elegans.
