Institut des Sciences Cognitives Marc Jeannerod, UMR 5229 CNRS Details
"L'institut des sciences cognitives Marc Jeannerod" is a research laboratory dedicated to the cerebral mechanisms of cognition and its disorders. It hosts several groups of scientists interested in topics such as perception, motor plasticity, attention, decision making, motivation and social cognition. The expertise of its members is decisively multidisciplinary, and includes physiology and psychology, as well as mathematics, economics and clinical disciplines such as neurology and psychiatry. Our research makes use of experimental models, behavioural analysis and functional neuroimaging, and the CNC tries to promote strong interactions between basic and clinical approaches in the hope of advancing our understanding of diseases such as Parkinson's, schizophrenia or autism and in order to help in the development of novel therapies for the treatment of sensorimotor and cognitive handicaps.The CNC is under joint contract with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Claude-Bernard University. It is led by Angela Sirigu.
