Jean-François Pflieger is an Associate Professor at the Université de Montréal's Department of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on developmental changes within sensorimotor systems that underlie behaviors in mammals. Specifically, he is interested in the role of electrical activity in the maturation of locomotor networks located in the spinal cord of the Brazilian opossum, Monodelphis domestica. His lab examines various aspects of motor development, locomotion, and neurophysiology, contributing to a deeper understanding of how neural activity influences motor behavior. He has supervised numerous graduate students and has been involved in multiple research projects funded by Canadian research councils. His expertise includes neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and the study of motor and sensory systems in mammals, particularly marsupials. Through his work, Pflieger aims to elucidate the intricacies of spinal cord development and function, which is crucial for understanding both typical and atypical motor control in mammals.
