By studying the cerebral dynamics of monkeys under general anesthesia using functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), NeuroSpin researchers, in collaboration with several hospital-university Teams, have identified a universal brain signature of the induced loss of consciousness by general anesthesia. This signature corresponds to a "stiffening" of the information flow within the brain.
On June 27, Stanislas Dehaene received an exceptional guest at NeuroSpin: the violinist Zhang Zhang and her band played together ZhangoMusic for an unprecedented evening, mixing music and brain, in front of a conquered public. The artist has enthusiastically lent herself to the different cognitive challenges proposed by Stanislas and his accomplices Laurent Cohen and Lionel Naccache.
Funded by the Human Brain Project, Individual Brain Charting is a collaborative project involving NeuroSpin that involves acquiring a set of high-resolution functional MRI maps of the human brain while performing behavioral tasks. The data, in open access, will be used to develop a macroscopic functional atlas including a cognitive mapping. This is the first version of the IBC project dataset.
The Neuro2Co project, led by INRA Val de Loire whose NeuroSpin is a partner, aims to test the hypothesis according to which the organization of brain connections, the connectome, accounts for behavioral adaptation strategies of different animal species. Under the impetus of this project, 3 science teachers from the secondary-school André Bauchant (37) animate since September 2017 a scientific workshop, the workshop Ciboulot, for students from 5th to 3rd. It is in this context that they came to NeuroSpin on June 12, hosted by Cyril Poupon and his team to achieve the acquisition of images in MRI of a quail brain.
IMIV unit (SHFJ), in collaboration with the Gustave Roussy Institute, has developed the free software platform LIFEx that allows to characterize the tumor heterogeneity from any type of medical images: PET, MRI, scanner, ultrasound. With nearly 900 members, this platform has an international success because it facilitates the realization of radiomic studies, conducted in the context of personalized medicine.
A SPI Research Team (LI2D, Marcoule), in collaboration with CIRAD and AU-PANVAC, proposes a new quality control technique for veterinary vaccines, based on very high resolution mass spectrometry. This strategy, based on the use of an ad hoc database to measure the proportion of antigens and contaminants in the vaccine preparation, will improve the quality control of vaccines against contagious caprine pleuropneumonia.
Several teams from the Frédéric Joliot Institute took part in the sports event of the Paris-Saclay centre on June 22, 2018, a moment placed under the sign of conviviality and good humor. And some of them even won prizes ...
An I2BC Research Team, in collaboration with the ICSN and the Ecole Polytechnique, has mapped for the first time, in man and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the myristoylome, namely the whole proteins modified with a fatty acid, myristate. This modification is important because it targets these proteins to the membranes and thus contributes to their subcellular compartmentalization. These data represent an important resource, available to the community of biologists.
