Thèmes de recherche
Spectacular progress in molecular and cellular biology and genetics has made it possible to make great strides in the knowledge of living beings, in particular in the understanding of the microscopic, competitive and homeostatic mechanisms that govern our organic life. In the extension of this fundamental work, cognitive sciences, computational neurosciences, artificial neural networks and other artificial intelligence (AI) techniques come together to try to explain how, on a meso- and macroscopic scale, the human experience and "Body-Brain-Environment" interactions participate in the emergence of our perceptions, intuitions, sensations, actions from which our judgments, our feelings, our beliefs, our moods, our ruminations built our thoughts and cerebral states of consciousness. The human brain has been self-organizing and adapting itself for hundreds of thousands of years (homo sapiens) with its billions of neurons and tens of thousands of connections per neuron which seem limitless and central in the system of living things (including animal). Its evolutionary history depends on hereditary transmission by descent and acquired experiences associated with the personal, social, cultural and technological environment which over time in a chaotic and uninterrupted flow nourishes the activity of circuits and neural networks housing our thoughts and our consciousness. The brain as a central nervous system (CNS) is not isolated. It is supplemented by other systems such as the vegetative nervous system (or ANS) which autonomously participates in the functioning of bodily organs, controls and regulates (via the sympathetic, parasympatic, enteric systems) cardiac, respiratory, vascular activity, glandular; its functional contribution to the CNS and its participation in the brain organization must be deepened, particularly in the top down and bottom up hierarchy of cognitive and mental processes. It is highly probable that the orchestrating power of the CNS associated with the ANS is a determining element in the construction of human and animal thought. The spatial and temporal organization and deployment of brain activity compels us to explore and analyze the brain as an energetic, dynamic, complex and multivariate system capable of establishing bidirectional mono and multisynaptic connections in space-time, discontinuous, transitional with more or less controlled and lasting states. The propagation of neuronal activity or brain waves over different distances (short / wide scales), with intensities (hypo / hyperconnected), powers and frequencies different rhythm and codes the brain information that takes root in these dynamic tangles stable (unstable), synchronized (desynchronized) and stochastic neural states that we try to break down and elucidate in the light of multidisciplinary knowledge and with the help of brain exploration techniques and methods of analyzing the signal extremely sophisticated. The fusion of multimodal information, brain stimulation techniques and algorithmic learning methods associated with the analysis of the activity and the functional and structural interactivity (connectivity) of neural networks provides an inovative framework for deepening the neurophysiological, psychological and cognitive mechanisms that contribute to the mental imagery of the mind, rational / irrational and the development of conscious (intentional / anticipatory) and pseudo-conscious (intuitive / instinctive) thinking. All the research work carried out in neuroimaging at LINP2 makes it possible to highlight the link that exists between the body, behavior and cognition in an interactive and multisensory manner to feed the integrative hypotheses of cerebral functioning. Imaging research is carried out in the field of experimental and cognitive neurosciences and is applied in the health sector, making it possible to elucidate the behavioral consequences of cerebral lesions / infections, the loss of integrity of neural networks and the degradation of brain functions found in certain neurodegenerative disorders such as Charcot's disease (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS).
To conclude, we hope to contribute to the development of a theoretical, neurobiological and computational framework of the dynamic, evolutionary and adaptive functioning of the brain and of the cerebral circuits which compose it; apply concretely this research work through the development of learning and therapeutic methods to instruct, train and (re) organize neural networks; set up educational methods (in connection with executive functions and attentional processes), neuropsychological intervention (mindfulness, meditation), electrophysiological (magnetic / electrical stimulation) and physical activity (exercises, training) to modulate / strengthen neural plasticity and improve cognitive and motor functions in healthy and pathological subjects. Finally, we hope that this research will contribute to a significant advance in knowledge on the complex and amazing functioning of the brain and human thought.
