Anna Beyeler, Neurocentre Magendie, INSERM
Anna Beyeler received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Bordeaux in 2006. Her expertise in electrophysiology roots in her doctoral training in the same university, after what she joined the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory (MIT) as post-doctoral fellow. There, she identified circuit and synaptic mechanisms of emotions in the amygdala, underlying memory formation and retrieval of positive and negative associations. After five years abroad, she started her lab in the Neurocentre Magendie within the vibrant Neuroscientific community of Bordeaux. Since then her team is studying the contribution of circuits of the insular cortex to emotional valence and anxiety, as well as the alteration of those circuits in pre-clinical models of psychiatric disorders. They use a wide panel of techniques including fiber photometry recordings, in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiology, opto- and chemo-genetics, along with cutting-edge whole-brain circuit mapping. In 2020, Dr. Beyeler has been tenured as a principal investigator at the French Institute of Health (INSERM). She also received the Avenir fund of INSERM, and grants from ANR, FRM and cercle FSER. She is also an associate member of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP), a member of the FENS-Kavli Network, and an ambassador of the ALBA network for diversity in Neuroscience.

Arthur Leblois, IMN, CNRS
Arthur Leblois completed his PhD in Paris (Pierre and Marie Curie University, between 2002 and 2006) under the supervision of David Hansel and Thomas Boraud on the dynamics of the basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop and the link with motor symptoms. of Parkinson's disease. During his PhD, he showed that pathological oscillations of activity in the basal ganglia are not the cause of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease using a combination of experimental and theoretical investigation. He then completed a postdoctoral internship in Seattle (between 2007 and 2010), in the laboratory of David Perkel, on the role of dopamine and rapid transmission within the basal ganglia in songbirds. During his postdoctoral internship, he showed that the level of tonic dopamine in the striatum regulates the variability of song depending on the social context in the mandarin and that the songbird basal ganglia circuit is specialized for fast information processing. After his post-doc, he returned to Paris, at the Paris Descartes University, where he set up his research group on the neural mechanisms of birdsong thanks to various funding (from ANR, Europe, Paris City). He was recruited in 2012 at the CNRS as a research fellow before recently joining more recently the Neurocampus in Bordeaux (at the IMN). The common thread of his research is the analysis of neuronal dynamics and the emergence of functions and dysfunctions in large neural networks, applied to the functions of the basal ganglia in learning and motor control, as well as their dysfunctions in pathologies such as Parkinson's disease and dystonias. More recently, he is interested in the interaction between basal ganglia and cerebellum and its role in motor learning. It always combines, as much as possible, theoretical modeling (methods borrowed from physics, mathematics and computer science) and experimentation (electrophysiology, behavior and optogenetics) in a permanent dialogue which is based on the formulation of predictions resulting from theoretical models which are then tested experimentally.
