Speakers > Anna Beyeler
Inserm, Bordeaux Neurocampus, France
Anna Beyeler received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Bordeaux in 2006. Her expertise in electrophysiology roots in her doctoral training in the same university. In 2012 she joined the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory (MIT) as post-doctoral fellow. There, she identified circuit and synaptic mechanisms in the amygdala underlying memory formation and retrieval of positive and negative associations. In 2020, Dr. Beyeler has been tenured as a principal investigator at the French Institute of Health (INSERM). Her research group is dissecting circuits of the insular cortex, to identify their role in emotional valence and anxiety. Dr. Beyeler has received the Avenir fund of INSERM, is an associate member of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) and a member of the FENS-Kavli Network.
Linking emotional valence and anxiety: case study of the insular cortex and amygdala
Anna Beyeler will present published and unpublished work on the dissection of neural circuits of the insular cortex and amygdala, and their implication in the control of behaviors related to emotional valence and anxiety in mice pre-clinical models. |
