| The mission of the Inserm unit 562 is to analyze the cerebral bases of
human cognitive functions in the normal subject and in patients with focal
lesions, by developing and exploiting modern neuroimaging methods together with
the use of experimental paradigms from cognitive psychology. |
 |
 |
The scientific objectives are:
-
To analyze, in the healthy subject, the organization of cerebral networks involved in reading, in mathematical calculation, and in access to consciousness for words and symbols (team 1, headed by Stanislas Dehaene)
- To
examine, in neuropsychological patients, the disorganization and the possible
re-organization of those networks following focal lesions (team 2, headed by
Laurent Cohen)
- To analyze the neural bases of spoken language processing and of bilingualism (team 3, headed by Christophe Pallier).
-
To examine the normal and pathological development of these networks in the very young child, by developing new imaging techniques in the infant (team 4, headed by Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz).
|
| To reach those objectives, the unit exploits the state-of-the-art
neuroimaging methods available at the Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot of
the CEA: anatomical, functional, and diffusion tensor magnetic resonance
imaging; cartography of event-related potentials with 128 electrodes;
and positron emission tomography. |
