In 2021, the Institute’s teams were at the origin of important scientific breakthroughs, with the indispensable support of the technological platforms, whose restructuring has made it possible to meet everyone’s needs as well as possible.

Although Alzheimer's disease is not inherited in 95% of cases, nearly 75 genetic susceptibility factors - that is, factors that increase the risk to develop the disease - or protective factors - that decrease the probability to be affected - have...

The Institut du Cerveau – Paris Brain Institute is an internationally renowned neuroscience research institute located in Paris, France, on the campus of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, providing world class expertise in basic and clinical...

The next forum organized by FENS (Federation of European Neuroscience Societies) will be held in Paris from 9 to 13 July 2022. The Paris Brain Institute’s researchers are mobilized for the largest ever symposium on neurosciences in Europe.

A major neurological emergency, status epilepticus is defined as a persistent epileptic seizure. Exposing patients to irreversible brain lesions that cause serious cognitive sequelae, it requires intensive care, which may lead to sedation (artificial...

Jean-Léon Thomas' group (Inserm, Paris Brain institute) just published a 3D mapping of the meningeal lymphatic network and the associated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, both in mice and in humans. Beyond the identification of highly conserved...

Coming up with a creative idea requires us to draw on all our previous knowledge. But how does this happen in our mind and in our brain? Emmanuelle Volle's group (Inserm) at the Frontlab of the Paris Brain Institute, in collaboration with the...
