PhD Theses in the Lab
The list of PhD theses defended so far in Alain Destexhe’s lab is shown below together with links to PDF copies of the theses of summaries. The theses were defended successively in Laval University (Quebec, Canada) and at the UNIC (CNRS, Gif sur Yvette) and at ICN (CNRS, NeuroPSI, Paris-Saclay). Only PhD theses are listed here, by inverse chronological order.
