Glioblastomas are the most common malignant tumors of the adult brain. They resist conventional treatment, including surgery, followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Despite thisarmamentarium, glioblastomas inexorably recur. In a new study...

Léonie KOBAN and Hilke PLASMANN, researchers in the team "CIA: cognitive control - interoception - attention", have identified a novel brain marker using functional imaging that predicts our preference for immediate rewards over larger later rewards...

Researchers led by Emmanuel Flamand-Roze, at Paris Brain Institute, have shown that a simple administration of oxygen can alleviate abnormal movement attacks in an orphan disease – alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC). These encouraging...

Sensory neurons pick up information from our senses and relay it to the rest of the nervous system. But this is not their only mission. In a new study published in the journal Current Biology, Claire Wyart at Paris Brain Institute, and Christina...

The European Research Council (ERC) has just published the list of the winners of the grants it is about to distribute. This year, two researchers from at the Paris Brain Institute have been distinguished.

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...
