Resources

Below you can find several resources we have created for the community.

• We have established and maintain the popular "Systems Neuroscience" mailing list (>2500 members, >2000 messages)
  To subscribe, visit the link.
  
  

• We established and maintain the "Paris Neuro Calendar", which aims to centralize all neuroscience seminars, conferences, and events in the region.
  
  

• Our lab has created the "French Academic Proxy", a browser extension that streamlines access through the INSERM and CNRS proxies.

• Our lab has established the "Paris Neuro" community Discord server, aimed at promoting, organizing, and structuring interactions within the broader Paris systems & circuits and computational neuroscience community.

• We provide the unofficial FENS2024 abstract database.

• Here you can find our short guide to getting started with Bluesky social network platform.

We have a number of AAV vectors produced in-house.
We will soon deposit the vectors at Addgene for distribution to the research community. 

In the meantime, get in touch.
