A joint study by teams from the Paris Brain Institute at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital and from Inria (Rennes and Paris centers) has revealed for the first-time plasma microRNA signatures in individuals with or presymptomatic of fronto-temporal...

A study conducted at the Zuckerman Institute of Columbia University (USA) by Jerome Munuera, co-first author and researcher at the Paris Brain Institute, and his collaborators, led to the development of the first functional model of abstraction in...

Paris, October 19th, 2020 - ALS is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons resulting in a progressive and irreversible deficit in walking and speech, until a complete paralysis of all muscles, including those controlling respiration. The...

A study by researchers and clinicians from the Paris Brain Institute (Inserm/CNRS/Sorbonne University) and AP-HP (Henri Mondor and Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospitals) confirms the beneficial effect of deep brain stimulation on several brain structures in...

Huntington's disease is a genetic neurological disorder that generally appears in adulthood. Teams of researchers and clinicians at the Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience (Inserm/Grenoble Alpes University) and the Brain Institute (Inserm/Sorbonne...

DOES MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) ALTER THE RISK OF DEVELOPING A SEVERE FORM OF COVID-19 INFECTION? WHAT ARE THE CLINICAL FEATURES AND EFFECTS OF CORONAVIRUS INFECTION IN PATIENTS WITH MS? DO SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SEPSIS INCREASE OR DECREASE THE...

The Paris Brain Institute, in partnership with the AP-HP, Sorbonne-Université, Medico-University Department of Neurosciences at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, with grant of €400,000 from the FIA Foundation - historical patron of the Institute with a...

The research team led by Prof. Lionel Naccache at the Paris Brain Institute (Sorbonne Université, APHP, INSERM, CNRS) has just published two important studies which concern patients suffering from a lasting disturbance of consciousness (e.g...

MSCopilot, a new multiple sclerosis self-assessment digital solution developed by AdScientiam a startup incubated at iPEPS, has been clinically validated in a clinical trial involving several French hospitals. The results are published in the...

A high tumour mutational burden (hypermutation) is observed in some gliomas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; however, the mechanisms by which hypermutation develops and whether it predicts the response to immunotherapy are poorly understood.

Estimating the value of alternative options is a key process in decision-making. Human functional magnetic resonance imaging and monkey electrophysiology studies have identified brain regions, such as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and...

Where does our individuality come from? What makes us unique in our behavior? Could it all be in our brain? Prof. Bassem Hassan* and his team discovered a stochastic wiring mechanism of circuits in the fly’s brain at the origin of individual behavior...
