Germán Sumbre

Germán Sumbre is a researcher in the Department of Biology at École normale supérieure (ENS), focusing on neuronal circuit dynamics and behavior. His lab employs zebrafish as a model organism to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying time perception, decision-making, learning, and sensory processing.

Research Interests

His work bridges neuroethology with advanced imaging techniques, examining how neuronal ensembles generate rhythmic activity and functional adaptations for behavior. Key areas include sensory-motor integration, synaptic plasticity, and computational modeling of neuronal population dynamics.

Publications

Over the past 15 years, Sumbre has published 10 studies on zebrafish neurobiology, emphasizing calcium imaging, virtual reality systems, and microfluidic devices for behavioral experiments. His research spans spontaneous activity patterns, rhythmic brain dynamics, and tools for neuronal data analysis.
