Description

This summer, I had the honor of shadowing Dr. Isabel Llano and Dr. Alain Marty, Senior Research Scientists Emeritus, at the SAINTS-PERES Paris Institute for the Neurosciences. During my time there, I joined the Cerebellar Physiology team that aimed to unravel the role of the cerebellum in sensorimotor integration, from synaptic to systems levels. Specifically, the biophysics of synaptic transmission and how it is integrated by the cerebellar cortex microcircuit during sensorimotor integration in awake-behaving animals was the main focus of the study. I was exposed to different laboratory techniques and procedures such as the  "Patch Clam/tight-seal whole-cell recording (WCR)"  that was used to record electrical signals from Purkinje cells in the cerebellum and the "UCLA min-scope - head orientation sensor" to track the head direction cells from the hippocampus.
