7T Sodium MRI may well prove increasingly useful in the study of physiological processes in inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumors. An example is a study on Alzheimer's disease, led by a NeuroSpin team.
Researchers from the SCBM have participated in the optimization of a bio-inspired catalyst anode developed by teams from IRIG (CEA, Grenoble). In particular, they have contributed to the fine control of the catalyst surface concentration.
The QSM4SENIOR project, led by NeuroSpin and the company VENTIO, aims at developing an original early biomarker of aging by using data from the SENIOR study of NeuroSpin. QSM4SENIOR has just been funded by the EOSC-Life.
Two researchers of UNICOG/NeuroSpin show that a gated recurrence model of neural networks would allow to make efficient and simple predictions, like our brain, in different environments. In addition to being biologically plausible, this model would be generalizable.
Using data from the UK Biobank, the world's largest general population imaging-genetics cohort, a collaboration led by a team at BAOBAB (NeuroSpin) has identified genes involved in the genetic architecture of language functional connectivity. These genes could be a priority for studying natural language.
Metaproteomics provides valuable snapshots of the functional state of microbiota. But the protocols used are still very diverse and the results not always easily comparable. The actors of the discipline, including the LI2D (Marcoule), are organizing themselves to be able to make the technique even more powerful.
A NeuroSpin team (BAOBAB) has tested a signal denoising method dedicated to very high field (7T) functional MRI. It is based on the weighted combination of images from each reception channel of the radio frequency coil, a combination that optimizes the stability of the signal over time.
A NeuroSpin team has exploited data on mental health and brain developmental disorders of subjects in the Healthy Brain Network cohort. It established a link between certain symptoms, precursors of possible mood disorders, and structural changes in the developing brain in more than 650 young people.

CEA is a French government-funded technological research organisation in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. A prominent player in the European Research Area, it is involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world.
