NEUROSCIENCE LABS IN LYON

The Neuroscience research community in Lyon–St-Etienne has a unique combination of scientific expertise, with a strong core of basic scientists using different animal models to understand the building of the functional architecture of the brain, making use of molecular, cellular and system-level approaches. The insights gained from basic research extensively feed to applied and translational Neuroscience in humans.
 

The research teams in Lyon – St-Etienne are part of four main centers:
