The ANC group is part of the Neurobiology of Adaptive Processes research unit (NPA, UMR7102), which is affiliated with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris-6).
NPA is an internationally outstanding laboratory whose general research interests concern adaptive processes of the nervous system, during development, in the adult, and during aging. These processes are studied at multiple levels of organisation, from the molecular to more integrated levels (e.g., in vivo electrophysiology, neural networks, brain imaging, and behavioural analyses).
The integrative nature of this approach calls upon multiple competences & techniques, covering both experimental and computational neurobiology. The unit currently consists of about 130 members, and it is organised in 12 research teams.
The ANC team investigates neural information coding issues (see Research), and it focuses on the learning mechanisms underlying the ability of animals (and humans) to interact with their environment through manifold sensory modalities and encode contextual representations (e.g. hippocampal spatial memories).
ANC promotes an interdisciplinary approach combining computational and experimental neuroscience. The ANC activity calls upon numerous scientific collaborations with neurobiologists, computational neuroscientists, and roboticists.
