Ghislaine Dehaene's team (NeuroSpin) carried out EEG experiments on neonates to find out whether statistical learning was a mechanism dedicated solely to language acquisition. By exploiting the speaker identity and phonemes, the researchers conclude that statistical learning mechanisms are universal and not limited to linguistic characteristics.
A study by SHFJ researchers has established a strong correlation between biomarkers of neuroinflammation, revealed by original PET imaging, and intracranial electroencephalographic recordings of epileptogenic activity. This offers hope for drug-resistant patients who are candidates for surgery.
Une équipe du laboratoire BioMaps, en collaboration avec l’Institut Galien Paris-Saclay a mis au point une stratégie innovante associant une prodrogue polymère et l'imagerie par tomographie par émission de positons (TEP) pour améliorer l'efficacité de la mertansine, un agent antitumoral puissant mais toxique.
Researchers from the SPI (DMTS) and the Women & Infants Hospital in Providence have laid the molecular basis for the neuroprotection of a purine derivative in a preclinical model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The promising results support the development of this drug candidate to treat HIE in neonates.
Des chercheurs du SHFJ, de NeuroSpin et du GHU Paris Psychiatrie & Neurosciences mettent en évidence des différences dans les altérations des faisceaux de substance blanche entre des patients diagnostiqués Alzheimer et d’autres vraisemblablement atteints de la pathologie LATE.
A team from I2BC, in collaboration with the NIMBE (CEA-Iramis), is unveiling the nature of the interactions of human alpha-synuclein (hαSn) with polyethylene nanoplastics, using molecular dynamics simulations and experimental methods.
Researchers from SPI (DMTS) propose immunodiagnostic and immunotherapeutic approaches based on the use of innovative antibodies targeting two subtypes of endothelin receptors (ETA and ETB), recognised as relevant therapeutic targets in oncology.
Une équipe de l’I2BC a mené une étude prédictive de la structure des interfaces d’interaction dans les complexes protéine - ARN : bien que de nombreux aspects de ces interfaces soient largement conservés au cours de l’évolution, une grande versatilité existe dans les contacts polaires entre les molécules.
A behavioural study conducted by a NeuroSpin team assessed the brain's processing of duration in working memory by having participants memorise a sequence of time intervals and then reproduce the duration of each interval. The results suggest that the brain processes the duration of each event as separate information.
Une étude dirigée par une équipe de NeuroSpin confirme la vulnérabilité spécifique du cerveau du bébé masculin après un AVC autour de la naissance.

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.
