Introduction
Researcher in cognitive neuroscience, my work focuses on brain plasticity in adults and its behavioral expression within cognitive-motor functioning.
In a postdoctoral position, I address the phenomenon in older adults by investigating the neurocognitive and functional changes induced by lifestyle interventions, i.e., physical activity, cognitive training, and, more recently, cultural activities (museum visits).

Background: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown and social distancing measures are applied to prevent the spread of the virus. It is well known that confinement and social isolation can have a negative impact on physical and mental health, including cognition. Physical activity and cognitive training can help enhance older adults’ cog...
Increasing evidence associates apathy with worsening in cognitive performance and greater risk of dementia, in both clinical and healthy older populations. In older adults with neurocognitive disorders, apathy has also been related to specific fronto-subcortical structural abnormalities, thus differentiating apathy and major depressive disorder. Ye...
Background and Objectives
In older adults, executive functions are important for daily-life function and mobility. Evidence suggests that the relationship between cognition and mobility is dynamic and could vary according to individual factors, but whether cardiorespiratory fitness reduces the age-related increase of interdependence between mobilit...

Recent research suggests that museum visits can benefit psychological well-being by reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety. However, these reported relaxing effects remain inconsistent between studies. Shedding light on the underlying cerebral mechanisms of museum visits might support a better understanding of how it affects psychological well-bei...
Background
The link between VO2max and cognition in older adults with cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) remains unclear, especially regarding sex differences. Previous findings suggest that cardiac determinants of VO2max primarily influence executive functions (EF) and processing speed (PS). Understanding these sex-specific differences may enhanc...
This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of home-based exercise, with or without cognitive training, on cognition and physical function in individuals aged 50 years and older with stable CVD during the COVID-19 pandemic. 122 patients (67.3 ± 7.9 years, 71% men) with stable CVD (77% coronary heart disease) were randomly assigned (1:1) t...
Background
Studies suggest that cognitive training and physical exercise can independently help improve cognition in older adults. This randomized clinical trial (COVEPIC study) aimed to compare the effects of 6 months of home-based physical exercise alone and combined with cognitive training on the cognition of older adults.
Methods
127 adults (5...
The use of better normalized cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) metrics (predicted value (VO2/pred) or lean mass (VO2/LM)) could improve our understanding of the relationship between VO2max and cognition in older adults with cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs).
PURPOSE: Determine the associations between two normalized VO2max metrics (VO2/pred and...
Background
Physical and cognitive deficits often coexist as comorbidities in individuals with chronic heart failure (CHF). Commonly used in clinical settings, the 6-minute walking test (6MWT), Timed-Up and Go (TUG) and the 10m walking speed (WS) are functional tests that have demonstrated associations with global cognition and specific cognitive do...
Background
Studies on the associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) and cognition have used inconsistent methods, which could explain the variability in the results. Understanding how ventilatory, cardiac and peripheral determinants of VO2max impact cognition would allow us to better prevent cognitive decline.
Purpose
Determine the r...
BACKGROUND: Exercise training (ET) at home can be a good
alternative to encourage access and participation to primaryprevention programs in older adults with cardiovascular risk
factors (CVRF). ET can improve prognosis, cardiopulmonary,
hemodynamic functions, and quality of life of older adults
with CVRF. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is a powerfu...
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment affects up to 50% of
patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with high
mortality rates, poor quality of life and reduced functional
capacities. There appears to be a bi-directional relationship
between HF and cognitive impairment: HF induces cognitive
impairment, which can lead to suboptimal treatment adh...
Background: Brain health and physical functioning decline with advancing age. The spectrum of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can begin with an accumulation of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), which can progress to ischemic or nonischemic heart disease. Both CVRFs and CVDs have independently been associated with cognitive deficits. Studies have...

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic forced health professionals to rapidly develop and implement telepractice and remote assessments. Recent reviews appear to confirm the validity of a wide range of neuropsychological tests for teleneuropsychology and among these, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a cognitive screening test widely used in clin...
(1) Background: Cardiopulmonary and brain functions are frequently impaired after COVID-19 infection. Exercise rehabilitation could have a major impact on the healing process of patients affected by long COVID-19. (2) Methods: The COVID-Rehab study will investigate the effectiveness of an eight-week cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program on cardior...
Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, confinement measures are likely to produce collateral damage to health (stress, confusion, anxiety), especially in frail individuals and those living with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In cardiac patients in particular, these measures dramatically increase the level of physical inactivity and sedentary li...
Introduction
Le syndrome d’Ehlers-Danlos de type hypermobile (SEDh) est une atteinte du tissu conjonctif qui se manifeste principalement à travers une hypermobilité articulaire généralisée. Celle-ci est à l’origine de troubles proprioceptifs susceptibles de modifier la contribution des différentes entrées sensorielles au contrôle postural. Cette ét...
Le syndrome d’Ehlers-Danlos (SED) est un groupe mixte de maladies héréditaires dont la caractéristique commune est une altération d’origine génétique du tissu conjonctif. Sa forme hypermobile (SEDh) se caractérise par une hypermobilité articulaire généralisée, associée à une hyperélasticité cutanée, générant toutes deux un déficit somesthésique. Or...

Le syndrome d’Ehlers-Danlos de type hypermobile (SEDh) est une atteinte du tissu conjonctif qui se manifeste principalement à travers une hypermobilité articulaire généralisée génératrice de troubles somesthésiques. Ces derniers modifient la contribution des afférences sensorielles nécessaires au contrôle postural. Cette étude vise à i...
Introduction
Le poids accordé aux entrées sensorielles varie selon l’âge, l’apprentissage, l’expérience, ou encore la pathologie. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer la contribution relative des afférences visuelles et proprioceptives au contrôle postural afin de mettre à jour des stratégies sensorielles, plus ou moins efficientes, pour la ré...
Elhers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is the clinical manifestation of connective tissue disorders, and comprises several clinical forms with no specific symptoms and selective medical examinations which result in a delay in diagnosis of about 10 years. The EDS hypermobility type (hEDS) is characterized by generalized joint hypermobility, variable skin hype...
Introduction
Le SEDh est une atteinte du tissu conjonctif qui se manifeste principalement à travers une hyperlaxité articulaire génératrice de troubles proprioceptifs. Cette altération du retour proprioceptif déséquilibre la contribution des afférences sensorielles nécessaires au maintien de l’équilibre. Cette étude visait donc à déterminer :
– les...

– les conséquences de ces troubles sur l’intégration sensori-motrice dans le contrôle po...
