معرفی
Adrien Peyrache is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, McGill University, and directs the Peyrache Lab at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital). He holds the Canadian Research Chair in Systems Neuroscience (Tier 2) and joined the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research in 2022.
His research investigates the neuronal basis of cognition, focusing on:
- Spatial navigation and the brain's 'GPS' in rodents
- Neural circuit organization during sleep and wake states
- Learning, memory consolidation, and neuronal population dynamics
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (autism) using Fragile X models
His publications demonstrate expertise in neural coding mechanisms, particularly in head-direction systems, hippocampal-prefrontal networks, and sleep-related neural dynamics. Research frequently employs electrophysiology, computational modeling, and behavioral analysis.
Awards and Honors:
- Killam Laureate (2017-2022)
- NIH K99 Award (2014)
- Human Frontiers Science Program Fellowship
He chairs The Neuro's Open Science Prize committee and advocates for open neuroscience practices. His lab collaborates internationally on projects linking neural circuit dysfunction to epilepsy and depression.
