The Saints-Pères Paris Institute of Neurosciences (SPPIN UMR8003) is seeking a PhD candidate to study the integration of visual, vestibular, and ideomotor information in head direction (HD) signals in mice. The project will explore how these signals guide goal-directed navigation and the dynamics of HD circuits in relation to behavioral context. The candidate will analyze mouse behavior and neural networks involved in HD coding, contributing to understanding spatial orientation and potential applications in brain-machine interfaces.
