Caractérisation de l'interaction des systèmes olfactif et trigéminal au niveau du bulbe olfactif : une étude non invasive par électrobulbogramme.

04 - Étudiants actuelsCurrent students

Shalini Balaji Vilvanathan M.Sc

PhD student in Biomedical Sciences, UQTR

I’m interested in the effects and discrimination of olfaction and flavour perception that could play a role in early detection of neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s.

Sarah Brosse

PhD student in Biomedical Sciences, UQTR
Boursière J.A. DeSève 2022-2023

I am interested in the role of chemosensation (olfaction and trigeminal system) in the early detection of Parkinson's disease.

Gözde Filiz M.Sc. (Cognitive Neuroscience)

Ph D student, Biomedical Sciences, UQTR
Fellow (Program PAIR, 2021-22)

I am interested in the multi-sensory effects of vision and gustation on olfaction. I use behavioral and EEG techniques both on the normal population and people who lost their sense of smell to work on olfactory-treatment.

Nouhaila Bouguiyoud

PhD student in Biomedical sciences, UQTR
En Co-supervision with Pr. Syrina Al Ain

I am interested in the effect of congenital blindness on olfactory function, both behaviorally and cerebrally. I mainly work on mice using the ZRDBA strain (our model of congenital blindness).

Clément Delcamp

Étudiant à la maîtrise en Sciences Biomédicales
Co-supervision avec Pr. Syrina Al Ain

I am interested in the chemosensory deficits of autism spectrum disorders through development, using neuroanatomical and behavioral techniques, in a translational research context (Animal – Human).

Zoé Duchesneau

Étudiante à la Maîtrise.

Étude du profil gustatif et olfactif ainsi que des habitudes alimentaires suite à un programme d'entraînement dans une population d'adolescents vivant avec de l'obésité - Étude pilote MVTsense”; Sciences de l’activité physique, Université de Montréal, QC (co-supervision with Marie-Eve Mathieu)

Olivier Fortier-Lebel

PhD student neuropsychology, UQTR
Fellow CIHR (2021-23)
Co-supervision with Pr. Benjamin Boller

I am interested in olfactory capacities at the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease as an early marker of the disease development.To do so, I use olfactory evoked potentials and various behavioral measures

Émilie Hudon

Student, Doctorat in clinical psychology (D.Psy), Intervention - neuropsychology, l’UQTR

I am currently a research assistant on two ongoing projects.
Trigeminal and Olfactory systems interaction, an EEG study
Olfactory training for patient that suffered loss of smell following COVID-19 infection
My research interests are towards factors that can influence the olfactory capacities during normal and pathological aging.

Benoît Jobin

Ph.D Student in Psychlogy (research and intervention), UQTR
Co-supervision with Pr. Benjamin Boller

I am interested in the chemical senses (olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal systems) and neuroimaging as early markers of Alzheimer's disease and associated cognitive decline.
