Teams from the Paris Brain Institute and Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital AP-HP, coordinated by Dr Matthieu Peyre and Prof Michel Kalamarides, have studied the presence of mutations in the PIK3CA gene in cavernomas. This work is published in the New...

A study conducted by Anne Desmazières, Rémi Ronzano and Thomas Roux in Catherine Lubetzki’s team at Paris Brain Institute, shows for the first time a new interaction between neurons and microglia, immune cells present in the brain. This hitherto...

Several studies by Prof. Bruno Stankoff's team "Remyelination in multiple sclerosis: from biology to clinical translation", highlight new mechanisms of brain inflammation in multiple sclerosis, thanks to new imaging tools based on the combination of...

A study published in the journal Neurology, conducted by Dario Saracino, Isabelle Le Ber (AP-HP), and their collaborators, highlights the importance of testing for mutations in a specific gene, the progranulin gene (GRN), in order to distinguish...

A study conducted by Julien Boetto and Franck Bielle (Sorbonne University. AP-HP) of the " Genetics and Development of Nervous System Tumours" team at the Paris Brain Institute highlights the potential of GAB1 as a new biomarker for Hedgehog...

Violetta ZUJOVIC, INSERM researcher and Team Leader and Fabrizio De VICO FALLANI, INRIA researcher at the Paris Brain Institute just published in Network Neuroscience. Identifying the nodes able to drive the state of a network is crucial to...

Frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder that can manifest itself through a wide range of symptoms. Valérie Godefroy, postdoctoral researcher in the Frontlab, under the supervision of Lara Migliaccio, and her...

Primary orthostatic tremor (POT) is a rare and poorly understood neurological disorder. It presents as a very rapid tremor (not visible to the naked eye) of the legs and trunk, causing a feeling of instability and fear of falling. The symptoms appear...

Neurological disorders have been reported in patients with Covid-19. Researchers and clinicians from the Paris Brain Institute and the Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière AP-HP have shown the interest of combining different examinations with...

Non-invasive brain stimulation is a rapidly expanding field with promising leads for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Within the Frontlab of the Paris Brain Institute, Clara Sanches, a doctoral student, Dr. Lara Migliaccio (Inserm) and Dr...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute, INSEAD, the Nutrition Department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (AP-HP/Sorbonne Université), EPHE and the University of British Columbia, provide new evidence for a reciprocal relationship between...
