But ! Frédéric Gambino crée son équipe à l’IINS

Frédéric Gambino chercheur IINS  (Daniel Choquet)  était depuis novembre 2014 dans l’équipe de Yann Humeau. 

Il devient aujourd’hui (Juin 2016) Group leader de l’équipe: Neuronal coding of choice and action-selection during decision-making in behaving mice . Installé à la CGFB il rejoindra plus tard  le nouveau batiment Neurocampus.

Frédéric Gambino then succeeded in getting an ERC starting grant (2016-2021). His “NEUROGOAL” project is exploring the causal effect of learning during a complex decision task but also, and for the first time, when the mouse learns to perform the task. To achieve this goal, the team of Frédéric Gambino is developing here in Bordeaux unique tools at the cutting edge of technology and innovation.

His team is part of a rare imaging infrastructure in vivo in Europe and in the world. This does not only underpin innovative research but also leads its development and creates a highly attractive climate for world-class postdocs and senior researchers.

Frédéric Gambino’s research goal is to understand how neuronal networks of behaving animals modulate the structure of their synaptic connections in response to learning, and how this process regulates the dynamics of representations that drive complex behaviors such as associative fear learning, decision-making, and action selection.  Lire  sa page  sur le site de l’IINS
