PhD, Team Leader, PI, INSERM

Team presentation

The Network Structural Dynamics team aims to develop and use innovative 3D brain imaging technology and genetic tools to:

Main publications
  • Investigating the molecular mechanism controlling the extension dynamics of neuronal processes in the adult brain
  • Generate new knowledge on the interaction of neurons and the vascular system during plasticity processes
  • Develop a 3-D calcium imaging methodology in the animal in correlation with mapping neural markers and whole brain connections.
  • Determining the role of structural plasticity in behavioural changes in mice

Projections of nesting-activated neurons throughout the brain, showing the extent of the regions contacted by these neurons. The image is obtained from 3D light-sheet imaging allowing the reconstruction of fibre trajectories in the brain at micrometric resolution.
Discovery of a novel role for an elusive brain region in maternal behaviors in mice
Gestation leads to a modification of brain circuits and behaviors such as nesting within the animal kingdom. The underlying biological, neural and hormonal mechanisms have been unknown until now. In a new study, the team led by Nicolas Renier (Inserm ...
