The acquisition of reading and writing are complex mechanisms whose subtleties we do not yet understand. Fabien Hauw and Laurent Cohen (Inserm, CNRS, Sorbonne University, AP-HP), neurologists at Paris Brain Institute, hope to uncover how we connect...

Disinhibition is one of the main symptoms of the behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), a type of dementia associated with degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Patients with bvFTD exhibit behaviours that are...

The work of Professor Fanny Mochel (AP-HP, Sorbonne University) at Paris Brain Institute, in collaboration with clinical research teams in eight countries and Spanish biotech Minoryx Therapeutics, has demonstrated the protective effects of...

Researchers and clinicians from the research team co-directed by Prof. Marc SANSON and Emmanuelle HUILLARD at the Paris Brain Institute have just identified four molecular profiles of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) that could predict...

Researchers from Inserm, CNRS, Sorbonne University and clinicians from the AP-HP and at Paris Brain Institute identified one of the mechanisms explaining ketamine effect as an antidepressant. Ketamine, usually used as an anesthetic, was administered...

The team " Plasticity and regeneration of myelin" co-directed by Brahim NAIT-OUMESMAR, Inserm Research Director at the Paris Brain Institute - in collaboration with Angela Giangrande's team (IGBMC, Illkirch) has just demonstrated that the Gcm2 gene...

In everyday life, we all need to anticipate our actions. On the road, for example, we need to start or cross when the light turns green. While the light is red, our brain prepares to act as quickly as possible as soon as the color changes because we...

A study by the Brain Institute (ICM/Inserm/CNRS/Sorbonne University/AP-HP) establishes for the first time the link between the onset of cognitive fatigue and the accumulation of a neurotransmitter called glutamate in a particular region of the brain...

A research team from Inserm, CNRS, Sorbonne University and AP-HP at the Paris Brain Institute in Paris just deciphered how our brain behaves when we procrastinate. The study, conducted in humans, combines functional imaging and behavioral testing. It...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive stimulation procedure that uses transient electromagnetic fields to act in a focused manner on a particular brain region. It can be used as a therapy for depression, Parkinson's disease or...

A research team from the Paris Brain Institute (Inserm/CNRS/Sorbonne University/AP-HP) just identified mutations in familial cases with early-onset Parkinsonism and intellectual disability. Genetic studies on two affected siblings pairs highlighted...

The diagnosis of atypical forms of Alzheimer's disease is still sometimes difficult. Researchers from Paris Brain Institute have developed an automated algorithm to correlate the specificities of brain lesions with the symptoms associated with these...
