Research projects

After studying both fundamental biology and clinical medicine, I sought an integrative approach to neuroscience. I chose to pursue my thesis in Karim Benchenane’s laboratory because I was intrigued by their holistic approach to understanding brain function, particularly in the context of brain states. Recent research on the interaction between the brain and the body represented, to me, a significant advancement in comprehending how the brain manages the complex integration of internal and external inputs. I believe that understanding interoceptive and exteroceptive processing will result in innovative approaches for identifying and more accurately describing neural processes in states such as emotions and arousal.
