La propagation des agrégats de la protéine Tau dans le cerveau contribue à la progression de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Des chercheurs du Laboratoire des maladies neurodégénératives : mécanismes, thérapies, imagerie (CNRS/CEA/Université Paris-Sud, MIRCen), en collaboration avec l’Ecole normale supérieure, Sorbonne Université et l’Inserm, ...
Des chercheurs de l’Inserm et du service ophtalmologie enfants et adultes de l’hôpital Necker-Enfants malades AP-HP ont montré qu’une accumulation toxique du fer survient dans plusieurs modèles de maladies rétiniennes et que la transferrine, protéine naturelle fixant le fer, contrebalance cet effet. ...
What happens inside our brains when we sleep? To answer this question, French researchers have, for the first time, filmed the entire brain in sleeping rats, thanks to innovative ultrasound imaging technology. They were thus able to closely observe brain function in ...
Researchers at CNRS, Université Côte d’Azur and Inserm have demonstrated a new mechanism related to the onset of migraine. In fact, they found how a mutation, causes dysfunction in a protein which inhibits neuronal electrical activity, induces migraines. These results, published in ...
As part of the InFoR-Autism* scientific program, supported by Institut Roche, an MRI neuroimaging study investigated the links between local anatomical connectivity and social cognition in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ...
A research team from CNRS, Université PSL, the Collège de France and Inserm has just lifted part of the veil surrounding brain activity during sleep. Though we know that some neurons are reactivated then to consolidate our memories, we did not ...
