Thèmes

En interagissant avec son environnement, un individu est contraint à faire des choix quant aux informations qu’il va assimiler et quant au comportement à adopter selon les situations. Ainsi, un individu doit balancer différentes sources d’informations (informations sociales obtenues par interaction avec d’autres individus, informations personnelles cumulées par l’individu lors de processus d’essais et d’erreurs…). Quels sont les facteurs qui influent sur cette balance ? Comment la sélection naturelle agit-elle sur ces processus ? En intégrant à la fois des approches de biologie comportementales, de génétiques et de neurobiologies nous cherchons à comprendre comment interagissent ces différentes sources d’informations et comment les individus adaptent leurs comportements à des conditions variées.
