The vestibular system: a hidden sense for a core sense of self
Hidden and pre-conscious, the vestibular sense does not pertain to the five traditional Aristotelian senses. Yet, it impacts human development, perception, action, and cognition.

The microbiome-gut-brain axis in Autism Spectrum Disorder
The pathophysiological role of the gut microbiota in ASD and the mechanisms underlying microbiota-induced gut-brain axis dysfunctions remain unknown. To lift this scientific barrier, we hypothesize in the Microbioautism project that gut dysbiosis in patients with ASD results in an abnormal composition of metabolites contributing to altered gut and brain functions.

The evolution of extended phenotypes and associated signals in animals : weaverbirds’ nests and sexual selection as a case study
Extended phenotypes are traits produced outside the body of the individual which carries the genes coding for their expression. While the evolution of many extended phenotypes may have initially been favoured by their protective function, many appear also to serve as sexual signals. We propose to work on one of the most spectacular and diverse radiations of extended phenotypes, the intricate and complex nest architectures of weaverbirds (117 species).
The environment and human health across life and social sciences
The EnviroBioSoc project aims at determining whether or not it is actually possible and suitable to overcome the state of plurality characterzing the study of environnementally induced diseases by looking for an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to the environment. This approach would combine the various ways the environment is conceived and operationalized in health studies, both in life and social sciences.
