Orientation de la recherche
Rôle des structures supraspinales dans le contrôle du mouvement et de la posture chez le chat.
Principaux projets en cours:
Contribution du cortex pariétal postérieur au contrôle de la locomotion sous guidage visuel chez le chat intact.
Rôle de la formation reticulée et du cortex dans le contrôle du mouvement et de la posture pendant la locomotion et les mouvements de líatteinte chez le chat.
Contribution du cortex moteur au contrôle de la plasticité locomotrice chez le chat.
Research orientation
Role of supraspinal structures in the control of locomotion and posture in the cat.
Current research projects:
Role of the posterior parietal cortex in the control of visually-guided locomotion in the intact cat.
Role of the reticular formation and in the motor cortex in the control of movement and posture during locomotion and reaching in the cat.
Contribution of the motor cortex to the control of locomotor plasticity in the cat.
