Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are eligible for the procedure. For these individuals...

Violetta Zujovic is team leader and scientific manager of the facility. Her research focuses on the immune system’s role in myelin repair, which is a key factor in neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and certain leukodystrophies. With...

Paris Brain Institute is co-organizing the 3rd edition of the “Modeling Human Neuropathologies” Summer School, together with the Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences (University of Heidelberg). The summer school is an intensive international...

An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic capacity of neurons can enhance long-term memory in both fruit flies and mice. The study, published in Nature Metabolism...

The most severe form of epilepsy, status epilepticus is a high-risk neurological emergency. Yet its epidemiology remains poorly understood, particularly in France. By analyzing data from the French National Health Insurance system, compiled within...

There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease. The treatments available in France—which are not reimbursed—are known as symptomatic treatments, meaning that they act on the consequences of the disease rather than its underlying cause. In 2018...
