Misspelled WordNeuroSpin researchers, in collaboration with two German Research Teams in the context of the Human Brain Project (HBP), offer a mapping of the hippocampus with unprecedented resolution, thanks to the very high field MRI, revealing not only its sub-structures, but also its internal neuronal connections and its cellular composition.
On the occasion of the Brain Awareness Week (12-18.3.2018), Frédérique Vidal, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, met scientists from the neuroimaging center NeuroSpin, located at the CEA Paris-Saclay Center, accompanied by Daniel Verwaerde, CEA General Administrator, and Stanislas Dehaene, Director of NeuroSpin.
Researchers from NeuroSpin (UNICOG) highlighted how the specific region of word recognition develops during the process of learning to read among children during first grade. This work, which helped to locate a "mailbox" in the left hemisphere, was published in the journal PLOS Biology and was the subject of a press release on March 13, 2018.
Muriel Gondry's Research Team (I2BC@Saclay / SBIGeM), in collaboration with SIMOPRO and Biomolecules Laboratory of the Sorbonne University's one, produced 200 cyclodipeptides containing non-natural amino acids by luring and diverting the cellular machinery for the synthesis of proteins. This unprecedented approach significantly increases the diversity of these bioactive molecules.
The Brain Awareness Week 2018 will take place from Monday, March 12th to Sunday, March 18th. On this occasion, NeuroSpin will open its doors to the public (from 12 to 16) by offering this year, in addition to visits from its imagers, a series of "interactive" conferences in which each speaker will be able to rely on a short video. More time will be spent on questions and answers.
To celebrate the remarkable work of NeuroSpin researchers over the past 10 years, a day of high-level scientific conferences was held on the 16th of February at NeuroSpin under the leadership of its director, Stanislas Dehaene.
Research Teams from SHFJ, MIRCen and NeuroSpin tested a pharmacokinetic analysis model of Positron-emission tomography (PET) data at 18F-DPA-714, taking into account endothelial cell activity not specifically associated with an inflammatory state. This model allows a more precise interpretation of PET images of neuroinflammation present in most neurodegenerative pathologies.
A Research Team from I2BC@Saclay (SB2SM), in collaboration with ISMO and ICMMO teams (CNRS / Univ.Paris-Sud, Univ.Paris-Saclay) measured accumulation kinetics of electrical charges within a molecular system designed for studies on artificial photosynthesis. These works, published in Angewandte Chemie, show for the first time the second electron of this fundamental process about the conversion of light energy into fuel.
