Welcome to the “news” section of our website, where you'll find all the latest publications on our advances in research (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Charcot's disease, etc.), our upcoming events, etc.
A molecule previously studied in the context of sleep disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now, for the first time, revealing its potential in experimental models of multiple sclerosis (MS): it protects neurons and...
More than one in three people will experience a brain disorder at some point in their lives. This reality, identified by the World Health Organization as a major public health priority, calls for unprecedented international mobilization. It is...
In intensive care units, some patients who appear unconscious occupy a gray zone in their relationship to the world. To better diagnose them and predict their recovery potential, Dragana Manasova, Jacobo Sitt, and their colleagues have developed an...
What if the flow of our thoughts occasionally just stopped? Esteban Munoz-Musat, Lionel Naccache, Thomas Andrillon, and their colleagues at Paris Brain Institute and Monash University in Melbourne show that the sensation of “thinking about nothing”...
Paris Brain Institute’s core facilities were recently awarded two new certifications: ISO 9001 certification for ICM.Quant and ISO 20387 certification for its DNA & Cell Bank.
An international study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity shows that patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) have a unique biology, different from those who respond to standard therapies. More than 5,000 genes were found to behave...
The anomalies underlying neurodegenerative diseases may arise during development—decades before the first symptoms appear. This hypothesis is gaining traction thanks to a new study published in Nature Communications. According to researchers from the...
Intellectual development disorders (IDD) affect 2 to 3 per cent of the population and are characterized by impaired cognitive functions, impacting learning. TDI thus has an impact on coping skills with implications for daily life and is a major...
Remembering past events in minute detail, revisiting them methodically, and reliving past emotions—this is the peculiarity of people with an exceptional memory of their own lives, known as autobiographical hypermnesia, or hyperthymesia. This...
In an article published in Nature Communications, researchers from 37 scientific institutions—including Paris Brain Institute—unveil the DREAM database: an ambitious project designed to centralize, share, and standardize data from research on sleep...
First described 60 years ago, chronic myoclonus following cerebral anoxia is now known as Lance-Adams syndrome. This is a severe disorder whose mechanisms were, until now, poorly understood. Geoffroy Vellieux, Vincent Navarro, and their colleagues at...
A Franco-German international research team has identified two new genes that play a role in the onset of intellectual development disorders (IDD), also known as intellectual disabilities. Researchers have successfully developed two new types of test...
