Post-doctoral Fellow, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA, 2001-2004
We aimed at investigating the modulation of cocaine self-administration in rats and mice in the Prof. George Koob Lab. Our collaboration with Prof. Luis de Lecea led us to the identification of the hypocretin/orexin system in stress-induced reinstatement of a previously extinguished cocaine seeking behavior.

PhD Thesis in neuroscience, Faculté de médecine Pitié-Salpétrière, 1997-2001
Our scientific project was performed at the laboratory of Neuropsychopharmacology (Inserm U288/677, head:  Prof. Michel Hamon). We developed the polygraphic recording of vigilance states in mice and investigated the modulation of sleep-wake to investigate the serotonergic control of anxiety, mood and sleep.
