Work in my laboratory is based on the assumptions that we do not know yet how all physiological functions are regulated and that mouse genetics by allowing to identify novel inter-organ communications is the most efficient ways to identify novel regulation of physiological functions. We test these two contention through the study of bone which is the organ my lab has studied since its inception. Based on precise cell biological and clinical reasons that will be presented during the seminar we hypothesized that bone should be a regulator of energy metabolism and reproduction and identified a bo

The concept of a dynamic excitation / inhibition ratio, that can shape information flow in cortical circuits during complex behavioural tasks due to circuit disinhibition, has recently arisen as an important and conserved processing motif. It has been also recognized that, in cortical circuits, a subpopulation of GABAergic cells that express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) innervates selectively inhibitory interneurons, providing for circuit disinhibition as a possible outcome, depending on the network state and behavioural context. In this talk, I will highlight the latest discoveries
