Clinical trials: Functional Brain Mapping, open to volunteers
Parkinsons Disease (PD)
Neuroimaging of Parkinson's
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by dysfunction in both subcortical structures and the cortex. The investigators recently discovered a new brain system called the Somato-Cognitive Action Network…

Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe, Cognitive Decline
Pre-operative Mapping of the Anterior Temporal Lobe Using Functional MRI Innovative Techniques in in Drug-resistant Epileptic Patients
Anterior temporal epilepsy is the most frequent form of focal epilepsy (more than 50% of focal epilepsies). The epilepsy is drug-resistant when epileptic seizures persist despite antiepileptic treatment (25% of cases).
