Neurophysiology of repetitive behaviours

Eric BURGUIÈRE

PhD, Team Leader, PI, CNRS

Team presentation

The team is interested in the neurofunctional mechanisms that underlie normal and pathological repetitive behaviours. The main objective is to identify the neurophysiological dynamics underlying the acquisition and regulation of these behaviours.

The Neurophysiology of Repetitive Behaviours team has a translational approach and has access to patients and animal models suffering from repetitive pathological behaviours such as compulsions/impulses and stereotyping.

The three main objectives are:

  • characterize the behavioural components that lead to repetitive behaviours
  • identify the brain circuits involved in the acquisition and regulation of these repetitive behaviours
  • understand how neuronal activity is modulated in these circuits

Stimulating specific neurons in the striatum stops compulsive behaviour
What if we could resist compulsions? These irrational behaviours, particularly common in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), are hard to suppress. At Paris Brain Institute, Éric Burguière's team shows that we can anticipate them and block them ...
