Gerard Derosiere
PhD, Post-Doctoral Researcher
Since November 2022, Gerard Derosiere has held a tenured researcher position at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), working as a principal investigator at the Lyon Research Center for Neuroscience (CRNL). His research is dedicated to deepening our understanding of the neural mechanisms that underlie motivation, decision-making, and apathy.
Before moving to Lyon, Gerard spent seven years as a postdoctoral researcher in the lab (Nov 2014 – Oct 2021). During this time, he focused on investigating the neural bases of motor decisions. In October 2021, he obtained a temporary FNRS researcher position, enabling him to initiate his independent project on effort-based decision-making and apathy. This endeavor laid the groundwork for his current research program. Gerard is still affiliated to the lab as a visiting researcher and keeps working on several projects in collaboration with the CoActions lab.
