Researchers from the NGUYEN laboratory at GIGA-Stem Cells have contributed to these results which have just been published in the journal Nature.

Installation at GIGA-CRC of the MRI MAGNETOM Terra exclusively for neuroimaging research. Thanks to this exceptional equipment, researchers will have access to images of brain activity with an unparalleled level of accuracy.

The lab is project partner of an ERA-NET european project about disruption of the spatio-temporal dialogue between migrating cortical neurons as underlying factor in autism spectrum disorder.

Cette découverte pourrait se révéler intéressante dans la compréhension de certaines maladies neurodégénératives comme les maladies de Parkinson ou de Huntington, qui sont notamment caractérisées par une altération du transport axonal.

A team from the GIGA has discovered a new crosstalk between the migrating inhibitory interneurons and the stem cells that generate the excitatory neurons. Their results are published in the prestigious scientific journal Cell.
