The CENIR Neuroimaging Platform

The CENIR platform specializes in neuroimaging and neurophysiology. It provides the Institute’s research teams with six pieces of equipment essential for studying pathology and understanding normal brain function.

Presentation of the platform

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides multiple images of brain structure or function in two or three dimensions of high quality for brain and spinal cord research;

PET-MRI allows for simultaneous PET and MRI. PET uses a tracer injection to study brain metabolism or the presence of certain molecules in the brain;

The electroencephalography (EEG) collects electric fields on the surface of the skull to obtain information on the electrical functioning of the brain;

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) allows the collection of brain-derived magnetic fields on the surface of the skull. EEG and MEG allow the exploration of visual, auditory and sensory cognitive modalities;

Transcranial electrical or magnetic stimulation, in particular transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which makes it possible to study excitatory, inhibitory or plasticity phenomena associated with motor, sensory or cognitive behaviour;

Stereotactic imaging (three-dimensional tracking of internal brain structures), used for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease, for example, but also in drug-resistant epilepsy.

Transcranial focused ultrasound that enables stereotactic surgical procedures to be performed to treat pathologies, to open the blood-brain barrier to deliver drugs in a targeted manner, and to
