Overview

Colette Dehay is affiliated with Inserm in France, focusing on research spanning neuroscience and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work covers 23 publications in neuroscience and 18 in biochemical and molecular fields.

Their research explores several specific subfields, including molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and paleontology. These areas emphasize a variety of biological and neurological mechanisms at different levels of organization and development.

Main topics of Colette Dehay's research include neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, neural dynamics and brain function, RNA research and splicing, developmental biology and gene regulation, pluripotent stem cells research, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and CRISPR and genetic engineering. This range suggests a strong integration of cellular, molecular, developmental, and genetic approaches to understanding brain function and development.

Notable recent publications reflect this multidisciplinary focus. These include:

  • "Proneural genes define ground-state rules to regulate neurogenic patterning and cortical folding," 2021, Neuron
  • "Apoptosis, G1 Phase Stall, and Premature Differentiation Account for Low Chimeric Competence of Human and Rhesus Monkey Naive Pluripotent Stem Cells," 2020, Stem Cell Reports
  • "From fossils to mind," 2023, Communications Biology
  • "Retinotopic organization of feedback projections in primate early visual cortex: implications for active vision," 2022, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • "Single-cell spatial transcriptome atlas and whole-brain connectivity of the macaque claustrum," 2025, Cell

Their frequent co-authors indicate collaboration with researchers such as Henry Kennedy, Véronique Cortay, Florence Wianny, Pierre Misery, and Camille Lamy, reflecting established scientific partnerships within their research fields.

Common venues for publishing research include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Communications Biology, Cell, Neuron, and Stem Cell Reports, highlighting a presence in both preprint and peer-reviewed platforms across neuroscience and cellular biology.
