The LABCD

The Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive Development is composed of 2 groups:

• Cognitive Arithmetic and Numerical Development in Youngsters (CANDY)
  Director: Professor Catherine THEVENOT
• Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (NLM)
  Director: Professor Pierre LAVENEX

These two groups, specialized in the domains of experimental cognitive psychology and neurobiology, work both independently and in collaboration. Their interests focus on the evolution of learning, memory and cognition across the lifespan, and the development of the brain regions which underlie these capacities.
