Launched in 2024, the Foulées du Cortex event brings together sportsmen and women and non-athletes around the same cause: research into the brain and related pathologies. Let's work together to advance brain research!
The Foulées du Cortex, how does it work?
The Foulées du Cortex takes place over a period of around ten days and brings together all those, sports enthusiasts or not, who want to support Paris Brain Institute through a challenge linked to physical activity and sport.
The principle is simple: every kilometre you walk, run or do something else equals €1 donated to brain research. Whether you're an experienced sportsman, a weekend warrior or just enjoy a good walk, everyone can take part!
1 km walked = €1 for brain research
Why take part in the Foulées du Cortex?
By taking part in the Foulées du Cortex, you are actively helping to support research into brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, strokes, brain tumours, epilepsy, depression and many others.
Brain research is paving the way for significant medical advances. Understanding the underlying neurological mechanisms makes it possible to develop targeted therapies, provide better care for sufferers and bring new drugs to market. Research can not only improve symptom management, but also offer real possibilities for cure or prevention.
Together, you can give impetus to the research carried out at Paris Brain Institute and actively support the efforts of its scientists.
I am very pleased to be the patron of the 2026 Foulées du Cortex. As a doctor, I am reminded every day just how fascinating, complex, and still all too little understood the brain remains. Supporting the Brain Institute means supporting teams that work tirelessly to better understand, prevent, and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, which affect millions of people.
