Stimulating specific neurons in the striatum stops compulsive behaviour
What if we could resist compulsions? These irrational behaviours, particularly common in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), are hard to suppress. At Paris Brain Institute, Éric Burguière's team shows that we can anticipate them and block them...

A multimodal approach to better predict recovery in patients with disorders of consciousness
When a patient is admitted to intensive care due to a disorder of consciousness—such as a coma—establishing their neurological prognosis is a crucial yet challenging task. To reduce the uncertainty that precedes the medical decision, a group of...

Early cortical remyelination has a neuroprotective effect in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a heterogeneous disease whose manifestations vary considerably from patient to patient and whose course appears, on the surface, unpredictable. Hence, it is crucial to identify the factors that drive disability progression. In a...

La construction de l’attention visuelle mise en évidence au niveau neuronal
The construction of visual attention highlighted at the neuronal level
A giant billboard flashes on the side of a country road. Why does it catch our attention more easily than other details in the landscape? At Paris Brain Institute, Tal Seidel Malkinson, Jacobo Sitt, Paolo Bartolomeo, and their colleagues show that...

Modélisation en 3D
A new model to predict brain development
From the very first weeks of life, countless connections are forged between neurons to ensure the propagation of nerve signals. These connections gradually shape the final architecture of the brain, known as the connectome. Our ability to perform...
