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...

The team "Motivation, Brain and Behavior", co-directed by Mathias Pessiglione (Inserm) at the Paris Brain Institute, proposes in a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience a new approach to understand how our prefrontal cortex makes decisions.

Thanks to an approach combining behavioral assessment and brain imaging, a study conducted by the Paris Brain Institute's FrontLAB has led to a better characterization of a major symptom of frontotemporal degeneration, disinhibition. These results...

Every day, we call upon a unique capacity of our brain, visual mental imagery, which allows us to visualise images, objects or people 'in our heads'. Based on the recent case of a patient with a specific brain lesion, Paolo Bartolomeo's group (Inserm...
