Neurobinar #6 : March 18th at 4 pm
Come and discover the work of Pascale Quilichini (INS) and Estelle Nakul (post-doctoral fellow at Boarding Ring & Aix-Marseille Université/CNRS).
Neurobinar #6 : March 18th at 4 pm with Estelle Nakul (Boarding Ring & Aix-Marseille Université/CNRS) and Pascale Quilichini (INS)
For this March edition, we are pleased to welcome Estelle Nakul (Boarding Ring & Aix-Marseille University/CNRS) and Pascale Quilichini (INS). Estelle Nakul will present how she has moved from academic research on self-consciousness to industrial research on cybersickness. Then Pascale Quilichini will present her research on the dynamics of the hippocampo-thalamo-cortical network. This one-hour web-seminar will allow you to get to know your neuroscientific colleagues from Marseille and to engage in a discussion about the latest research.

Log in and learn more about Estelle Nakul’s post-doctorate (Boarding Ring & Aix-Marseille University/CNRS), followed by the presentation of Pascale Quilichini’s (INS) research. You will also have the opportunity to ask your questions and review the neurobinary on our YouTube Channel.
Pascale Quilichini completed her academic education at the Aix-Marseille University, which she obtained a PhD at INMED. Interested by epilepsy in immature networks, she developed and tested an experimental model of Dravet’s syndrome where she identified a mechanism of network synchronization at seizure onset. Then, she did a first post-doc at Rutgers University of NJ (G Buzsáki’s lab) during which she characterized network dynamics in the entorhinal cortex involved in theta and gamma oscillations. Back in Marseille at the Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes (INS), she did in a second postdoc and then obtained a “chargé de recherche” position at Inserm in PhysioNet team. Her research aims to determine the dynamics of a large network (the hippocampo-thalamo-cortical dialogue) supporting the long-term consolidation of episodic memories.
Estelle studied both Science and Philosophy in Paris before doing her master’s degree in Neuroscience in Marseille. She completed her PhD under the supervision of Christophe Lopez in the Sensory and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab and defended in 2019. During her PhD, she studied the vestibular and interoceptive contributions to the multisensory mechanisms underlying bodily self-consciousness. For this, she used electrophysiology and virtual reality in healthy participants and patients with vestibular disorders. Thanks to the post-doctoral grant from Neuroschool, she now works in partnership between the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience (LNC) and Boarding Ring. She continues her research on visuo-vestibular integration and self-perception in virtual reality to test a new device against cybersickness (the motion sickness of virtual reality).
