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 major international conceptual diagnostic criteria and conceptual breakthrough program has been successfully launched and published, led by the UPMC and Institut du Cerveau - ICM researchers Professor Bruno Dubois and Professor Harald Hampel (AXA –...
A team coordinated by professor Emmanuel Flamand-Roze of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, AP-HP, and researcher at the Brain and Spine Institute, has tested at the Institut du Cerveau - ICM Clinical Investigation Center, the efficiency of zonisamide...
Hereditary spastic paraplegias are a heterogeneous group of pathologies and share clinical similarities with other neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
In a rare and early form of Alzheimer's disease, Institut du Cerveau - ICM researchers have shown that, surprisingly, connectivity between neurons increases during the initial phase of the disease. This transitional increase would correspond to a...
For the first time in humans, an imaging study shows an early and protective role of the immune cells of the brain, called " microglial " cells, in Alzheimer's disease. Teams from the Sainte-Anne Hospital Center, from the CEA, from the Saint-Antoine...
For the first time, an animal model, deficient for DEPDC5 gene, responsible for familial focal epilepsy with cortical malformations, has been generated by Stéphanie Baulac and Eric Leguern's team.
For the first time, Claire Wyart's team has shown in the zebra fish, the existence of a sensory system within the spinal cord, capable of detecting and modulating movement. Identification of other parameters that can activate this system, and thus...
Pr. Alexis Brice's team at the Brain and Spine Institute – Inserm / CNRS / UPMC, in collaboration with two international consortia has identified a new gene, VPS13C, involved in an early form of Parkinson's disease. Mutations in VPS13C lead to a loss...
The emergence of multidisciplinary, bold and innovative original research projects carried out by the Institut du Cerveau - ICM’s young talents, thanks to the Bolloré Group support, is the Institut du Cerveau - ICM's Brain Booster Challenge bet.
Grégoire Courtine is Associate Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. He came to the Institut du Cerveau - ICM on February 1, 2016, and presented his research work on the use of new technologies to improve motor recovery after a...
Bassem Hassan’s team at VIB/KU Leuven has discovered a previously unknown mechanism that is highly conserved between species and which regulates neurogenesis through precise temporal control of the activity of a family of proteins essential for brain...
