A team from NeuroSpin designed an original learning paradigm to identify the brain code representing the probability of an event occurring. Results obtained using ultra-high-field functional MRI show that fronto-parietal regions encode this probability and that its representation relies on a highly non-monotonic code.
A team from the SPI (DMTS) investigated the effects of hypoxia on the interface between the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid using organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The aim was to investigate how cerebral hypoxia at birth, which causes hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, disrupts this cerebral barrier, which has not yet been extensively studied.
Researchers from NeuroSpin demonstrate that cortical folding, analyzed using deep learning, holds promising potential for predicting psychiatric disorders. They highlight the value of pre-training to build foundation models on large cohorts and the benefits of a regional approach.
The COVID-PATH project was officially launched on March 12, 2025, to investigate the gastrointestinal impact of SARS-CoV-2 and its link to Long COVID.
As a stakeholder in the NOMATEN Centre of Excellence for innovative multifunctional materials, the CEA-Joliot Institute supports its development by regularly organizing training sessions for its staff. The latest examples.
