The Early Career Speaker Series is organized by the University of Nevada to highlight promising young scientists in neuroscience. Sarah Marchand was invited to give a talk about her ongoing research on multisensory processing of self-motion cues. This invitation reflects the growing recognition of her work within the international neuroscience community and her active role in promoting the InVest team’s research abroad.
The JSPS Summer Program offers selected PhD students the opportunity to conduct collaborative research in Japan. From June to August 2024, Sarah Marchand joined the laboratory of Prof. Tsurugizawa Tomokazu at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tsukuba. This stay allowed her to strengthen international collaborations and develop a novel project on optic flow perception using fMRI in non-human primates.
In April 2024, the InVest team met with its academic partners in Caen for a project meeting. This gathering provided a valuable opportunity to discuss ongoing progress, share expertise, and align future research directions. The exchanges were highly stimulating and played a key role in advancing the project, strengthening collaboration between the two teams involved.
As part of the week-long campaign to raise awareness of vestibular disorders, the InVest team, based at the Centre de Recherche Cerveau et Cognition (CerCo) on the Purpan hospital site in Toulouse, is organizing an evening film-debate based on Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Vertigo” (1958).
Following the screening of the film (in VOSTFR), Pauline Nieto, Senior Registrar in the ENT Department of the Toulouse-Purpan University Hospital, Alexandra Weckel, Toulouse ENT specialist in vertigo and hearing disorders, Alexandra Séverac Cauquil, Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience at UT3, Principal Investigator of the ANR-funded In-Vest research project “Vestibule and cerebral construction of self-motion perception”, and Sarah Marchand, doctoral student in the In-Vest project, will be speaking on the subject.
This year’s Balance and Vertigo Week runs from September 17 to 23, 2023.
Its aim is to bring together the various professional components of the scientific community to explain to the general public what vertigo is and how to deal with it.

Balance and vertigo week
From September 17 to 23, 2023 throughout France
The idea is to create a major annual event in France to raise awareness of vestibular disorders. The aim is to raise awareness of these pathologies, which are still poorly defined and poorly understood, and to publicize the therapeutic approaches available to treat them. It’s also an opportunity to talk about the research being undertaken to advance our knowledge in this field.
This year, the InVest team is taking part in Balance and Vertigo Week, organizing several events during the week and disseminating information to the general public.
