INVITED SPEAKERS
Prof. Richard Morris
Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems, University of Edinburgh
http://www.ccns.sbms.mvm.ed.ac.uk/people/academic/morris.html
Professor and Director of the Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems (CCNS). He is an expert in neurobiology of learning
and memory in relation with hippocampal circuitry and plasticity. He was early involved in hippocampal plasticity and
learning. He created several original experimental designs and his work provids critical issues in the understanding of
hippocampal involvement in memory in rats. He is also actively implicated in the Dana alliance for the brain.
Dr. Pascale Gisquet-Verrier
Centre de Neurosciences, Université Paris Sud
http://www.cnps.u-psud.fr/
She was among the first neuroscientists to propose a comprehensive and detailed view of what is otherwise roughly
considered as “context”. She is presently engaged in an experimental and theoretical research project, tackling the link
between emotional memories and post stress traumatic disorders (PTSD) from memory (re)consolidation mechanisms
in rats and humans.
Prof. Jean-Michel Lassalle
Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition Animale, Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse III)
http://cognition.ups-tlse.fr/fichesmembres/jmlassalle.html
He is a pioneer in the domain of genetically based cognitive abilities in mice, using different classical tasks such as the
water and radial mazes. He analysed the contribution of different sub regions of the hippocampus formation in combin-
ing genetic, neurological and pharmacological tools.
Dr. Roland Maurer
Faculté de Psychologie et des Sciences de l’Education, Université de Genève
http://ethologie.unige.ch/roland_maurer.htm
He worked in the laboratory of Prof. Arianne Etienne and now teaches ethology at the University of Geneva. His main
interest concerns path integration mechanisms in different species, from hamsters to humans. He combines a bright
insight for experimental designs with a keen interest for theoretical elaborations.
Prof. Lucia Jacobs
Psychology Department, University of California
http://jacobs.berkeley.edu
Associate Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. She is among the precursors of neuro-etho-ecology. She
works on spatial memory in different species including laboratory rodents, squirrels and humans. She provided critical
demonstrations of spatial memory in ecologically relevant conditions and analyzed cognitive map abilities among verte-
brates in an evolutionary perspective.
Prof. Hans Peter Lipp
Institute of Anatomy, University of Zürich
http://www.neuroscience.uzh.ch/research/neural_basis/lipp
His experimental approach combines several new laboratory automated cages such as automated home cages or mazes
to assess brain behaviour relations in a genetic perspective. He conducted experiments on laboratory mice in large
outdoor pens and allowed automated cages to be freely visited by wild rodents for cognitive assessment. He conducted
numerous experiments on large scale cognition in homing pigeons.
Dr. Delphine Preissmann
Institut de Psychologie et Centre de Neurosciences Psychiatriques, UNIL
http://www.chuv.ch/pediatrie/dpc_home/dpc_infos/dpc_infos_organisation/dpc_cnp/dpc_cnp_neuroethologie.htm
Did her PhD under the direction of Prof. Françoise Schenk. As a psychologist, she works with animal models of schizo-
phrenia in which she developed tests assessing supramodal information integration, a capacity affected during the
illness in humans. She also developed, in collaboration with Lea Bertholet, various spatial tasks with similar requirements
in humans and in rats. She teaches cognitive psychology and neurosciences at the University of Lausanne and at the EPFL
