Summary
Adrien Peyrache is a neuroscientist and academic leader with nine years of focused experience studying how the brain builds internal maps, forms memories, and reorganizes during sleep. As co-founder and co-director of the Quebec Sleep Research Network and head of the Peyrache Lab at McGill’s Montreal Neurological Institute, he combines large-scale neural recordings and computational modeling to probe thalamocortical and hippocampal circuits underlying space, time, and experience. An associate professor who progressed from assistant professor after a postdoc at NYU and CNRS training, he builds multidisciplinary bridges between basic research and clinical communities to accelerate translational impact. He also champions open science—co-founding awards that recognize tools and platforms that democratize neuroscience—and brings a rare mix of physics, cognitive science, and hands-on systems expertise to complex neuroengineering problems.
