Bassem Hassan’s team at VIB/KU Leuven has discovered a previously unknown mechanism that is highly conserved between species and which regulates neurogenesis through precise temporal control of the activity of a family of proteins essential for brain...

Guido Gerig is Institute Professor at the Computer Science and Engineering Department of the NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering. Here, he gives us a glimpse at longitudinal neuroimagery, which allows doctors to follow patient progress over time.

Paris Brain Institute brings together in one place patients, doctors and researchers in order to rapidly develop treatments for nerve damage and apply these to patients as soon as possible. Coming from all backgrounds and countries, the best...

Patients with fronto-temporal dementia need specific and appropriate medical care. However, this disease is still too often confused with Alzheimer's disease. Clinicians and researchers from Paris Brain Institute and from the Memory and Alzheimer's...

Fiona Doetsch is a research group leader at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. Upon her visit at the Institut du Cerveau - ICM, she presented her work on stem cells, and more specifically, on what triggers their activation. Stem cells could...

The Institut du Cerveau - ICM scientists have recently discovered a mechanism which protects neurons from cell death. The loss of this protective mechanism may contribute to the degeneration of neurons in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Yves Agid's forum, neurologist and founding member of the Institut du Cerveau - ICM, after the symposium on the History of FENS-Institut du Cerveau - ICM Neuroscience, on December 3 and 4, 2015.

The majority of neurodegenerative disorders, from Alzheimer's disease to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to Parkinson's disease, share common features with prion diseases.

Ron R. Kopito, Professor of Biology at Stanford University, has been working for the last several years with his team on problems related to protein folding, which is notably affected in certain neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, protein...

On the occasion of National Epilepsy Day, Vincent Navarro, neurologist and Institut du Cerveau - ICM researcher, and Stéphanie Baulac, co-leader of the team “Genetics and physiology of hereditary epilepsy,” and the start-up Bioserenity led a...

The Behavioural Neuropsychiatry Unit (BNPU) is a clinical unit established in 2013 through the IHU-A-Institut du Cerveau - ICM in the framework of the “Investissements d’Avenir” in close cooperation with the APHP / Pitié Salpêtrière.
