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...
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...
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...
A study conducted by Liane Schmidt (INSERM) and Hilke Plassmann (INSEAD’s Octapharma Chaired Professor of Decision Neuroscience) both researchers at the Paris Brain Institute establishes for the first time a link between weight loss, the connectivity...
New study conducted by Irini Kessissoglou in the “Brain development” team headed by Bassem Hassan at Paris Brain Institute reveals new functions for the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) homologue in drosophila. Results are published in PLOS Biology.
A joint study by teams from the Paris Brain Institute at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital and from Inria (Rennes and Paris centers) has revealed for the first-time plasma microRNA signatures in individuals with or presymptomatic of fronto-temporal...
