Activités
1) Stereotaxy and implantation surgery (skull window, silicon probe, neuropixel) and viral infection.
2) Handling, habituation and daily monitoring of animals in animal experiments, in accordance with ethical regulations:
3) Setting up experiments involving lesions, optogenetics, calcium imaging of thalamic axons and electrophysiology in awake animals.
4) Strict monitoring of endpoints and euthanasia of animals if necessary.
5) Daily monitoring of data collection and storage by all necessary means (laboratory notebook, external hard drive, server).
6) Mathematical analysis and modelling of data and formatting of figures.
