The cerebellum is essential for sensorimotor control but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviors. An international research consortium uncovered how dopamine in the cerebellum modulates social behaviors via its action on D2 receptors (D2R). These new findings pave the ...
Les trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) résultent de particularités du neuro-développement. Ils apparaissent au cours de la petite enfance et persistent à l’âge adulte. Environ 700 000 personnes en France seraient concernées. Dans les laboratoires de recherche, les efforts se poursuivent, ...
Des chercheurs de l’Inserm, de l’ENS-PSL et du Collège de France, montrent que des stimulations depuis la surface du cerveau, au niveau du cervelet, suffisent à supprimer les mouvements involontaires ou dyskinésies liés à la maladie de Parkinson. ...
In a new study analyzing data from all previous research in the field, researchers show that not only are positivity and confirmation biases present even in the simplest human and animal cognitive processes, but also that incorporating them into learning algorithms would ...
With previous findings having highlighted the role of our social environment as one of the key factors behind the expansion of the cerebral cortex, researchers went one step further in elucidating this link. They were more specifically interested in a species of ...
Scientists from the Institut Pasteur (a partner research organization of Université Paris Cité), Inserm and the CNRS have discovered that hypothalamic neurons in an animal model directly detect variations in bacterial activity and adapt appetite and body temperature accordingly. These findings demonstrate ...
