SENSOMOTION LAB

Guy is passionate about how the brain builds and continually updates internal representations of the world and our movements within it. He earned his undergraduate degree at Sorbonne University and his master's at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris. During his PhD in Boris Barbour's laboratory at ENS, he investigated synaptic plasticity in cerebellar circuits. He then broadened his research into systems neuroscience as a postdoctoral fellow in Massimo Scanziani's group at UCSF, where he examined how head-movement-related signals are integrated into visual circuits.
In September 2023, Guy launched the SensoMotion Lab at NeuroPSI with support from the European Research Council (ERC). His lab combines in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, two-photon imaging, and behavioral approaches to understand how the brain merges sensory and non-sensory information to construct coherent models of the world.

Dr Reeson is a former Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) Fellow who earned his PhD from the University of Victoria in 2018. Dr Reeson's first postdoc was in the lab of HHMI Investigator Massimo Scanziani, studying cortical circuits of visual sensory perception. Currently Dr Reeson's research involves studying how changes in spatial context (for example being tilted) affect canonical cortical computations in vision.

During his two-year technical degree in Physical Measurements (BTS Mesures Physiques), Guillaume Hucher completed an internship in microscopic imaging at INSERM, where he discovered various optical imaging techniques (classical microscopy, confocal microscopy, and deconvolution) as well as atomic force microscopy.
After obtaining his degree, he decided to combine two disciplines that were particularly meaningful to him — biology and physics.
He then joined the Integrative and Computational Neuroscience (ICN) unit as an assistant engineer in histology, where he is responsible for histological work for the different research teams.

Adrien holds a Master's degree in Neuroscience from Sorbonne University (Integrative Biology and Physiology (BIP) program). After a research internship with Nelson Rebola at the Institut du Cerveau, he started a PhD investigating how the brain represents the external environment through the analysis of extracellular recordings in freely moving mice. Passionate about neuroscience, Adrien aims to pursue an academic research career. Outside the lab, he enjoys playing rugby 🏉 and climbing 🧗.

Abdussamed is currently on gap year during his 4th year of medical studies at Université Paris Cité. After passing the first-year medical exam, he joined the MD-PhD programs at Université Paris Cité, the École de l'Inserm Lilianne Bettencourt, and the École Normale Supérieure Ulm, where he completed his Master 2 in Neuroscience.
He joined the SensoMotion Lab for his M2 internship and has continued there since, studying how head and eye movements influence visual processing in the pulvinar of head-fixed mice.
Outside the lab, he is actively involved in supporting students preparing for the medical entrance exam through A2SUP.
