Decision and Adaptation
Our team studies basic cognitive representations and operations which allow animals to adapt their actions according to their predicted consequences. Our approach stands at the interface of cognitive and experimental psychology, integrative and developmental neuroscience, and clinical neuroscience.
We use specific behavioural and associative learning tasks in rodents (rats, mice), as well as techniques from functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry and computational neuroscience, to model the role of prefrontal brain regions and circuits in the emergence of executive functions.
