(2/3) Huge thanks to my supervisors @martingiurfa.bsky.social and Guillaume Isabel for their guidance and support.
Between Toulouse and Paris (and even a lab move!), this PhD was a real adventure : full of inspiring people and moments I’ll always cherish. ✨🏙️

Extremely honored for the opportunity to give the opening Angelique Arvanitaki Lecture at the meeting of the French Society of Neuroscience in Montpellier. Glad that this lecture was named after this brilliant woman who did fundamental work on the nervous system of invertebrates.

See our last work on the effect of learning on how bees respond to the unconditioned stimulus (US) after learning! We show that learning changes not only conditioned-stimulus processing but also US processing.
