Neurodevelopmental disorders(NDD) such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID). affect up to 15% of the population. These NDD produce disabilities which affect a person their whole life. In many cases, persons with […]

The Paris Autism Research International Sib-pair (PARIS) Study has been launched as a collaborative project by Prof. M. Leboyer (Paris) and Prof. C. Gillberg (Göteborg) in the 2000s. Its main goal is to join […]

We implement and develop data analysis pipelines to process large neuroimaging-genetics datasets, and participate in the analysis of several very large international consortia. We have developed online and offline interactive tools to examine the […]

Human brain anatomy is strikingly diverse and highly inheritable: genetic factors may explain up to 80% of its variability. Genome-wide scans looking for associations between genomic polymorphism and neuroanatomical variability identify, however, just a […]

Neocortical folding is one of the most intriguing characteristics of the mammalian brain. Their pattern is very distinctive for different species, and there seems to be a remarkable relationship between convolutions and the architectonic […]

Afin de mieux répondre aux défis de la santé de demain, il est primordial de faire participer les patients aux différentes étapes de la recherche. Cette participation peut avoir lieu à toutes les étapes […]

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a heterogeneous group of pervasive neurodevelopmental disorders affecting approximately 1% of the population. The diagnosis of ASD is based on impairments in reciprocal social communication and stereotyped behaviors. Behind […]

Our team identified the first mutations in the SHANK3 gene, showing it’s role in autism and Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS). Thanks to a donation from the French Association of Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, we will continue the […]

“Imaginons la recherche” is a project for supporting structural change in research organisations to promote Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) as defined by the european commission : Public engagement (outreach & citizen science) Gender […]

Our group is exploring the human brain using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG). These approaches are combined with our genetic data in order to better understand the genetic and phenotypic diversity of […]

BrainBox (http://brainbox.pasteur.fr) is a web application developed by the Groupe de Neuroanatomie appliquée et théorique de l’Unité de génétique humaine et fonctions cognitives. BrainBox lets you visualise and segment collaboratively any brain MRI dataset available […]

MicroDraw is a web application to visualise and annotate collaboratively high resolution histology data. Annotations are vectorial, and you can use boolean operations to combine, subtract and split regions. You can point MicroDraw to […]

The Brain Catalogue is a collaborative platform for comparative neuroanatomy. Our aim is to celebrate the diversity of the vertebrate brain by making high quality data, open and freely available to everyone. You can […]

BrainSpell is a web platform for the collaborative annotation of the neuroimaging literature. You can use BrainSpell here: http://brainspell.pasteur.fr
