Research
His research focuses on learning and memory in honeybees at different organization levels, from behaviour to molecules.
He uses “bottom-up” and “top-down” approaches and research tools from neuroethology, experimental psychology, neurobiology, computational neurosciences and molecular biology in order to characterize and understand the rules underlying associative learning in bees and to identify its neuronal and molecular substrate and mechanisms.
