Emilie Lommers receives a WEAVE (FNRS) grant for a translational brain imaging project aimed at advancing our understanding of multiple sclerosis.
Agustina Aragon-Daud, PhD student at the Laboratory of Physiology of Cognition, receveived an award from the Brainstorm Neuroscience Pitch Competition with her project called "Mind Blanking: Looking at the Brain When Thoughts Disappear".
Congratulations to all researchers obtaining a new FNRS mandate !
An international team, coordinated by Athena Demertzi, has proposed a new scientific framework for understanding “mental emptiness”, an intriguing state of consciousness on the borders of attention, sleep and meditation.
Using ultra-high resolution MRI, the HISTOPARK project, led by Gilles Vandewalle and Pierre Maquet, aims to identify new biomarkers and better understand the early signs of Parkinson's disease.
Gilles Vandewalle's team (Sleep & Chronobiology Lab) has shown that the activity of the locus coeruleus, a tiny structure in the brain stem, regulates human sleep. A key advance for better understanding and treating sleep disorders.
Gilles Vandewalle's team provides evidence that higher light levels lead to a change in activity in the hypothalamus, and an improvement in cognitive performance.
The project set up by ULiège researchers aims at a better understanding of the impact of the neuroinflammation process on the neuropathology of the disease and the associated cognitive changes.
6 GIGA projects have just been selected as Research Projects by the FNRS
Two studies carried out by researchers from the GIGA CRC IVI at ULiège could provide new insights into how our brains work.
A multidisciplinary research team led by ULiège and CHU Liège has uncovered evidence of increased neuronal connectivity in the brains of entrepreneurs, which may contribute to distinct cognitive attributes.
Sophie obtained a "young researcher" funding of 60.000€ for her project on the effect of alcohol on the brain of adolescents and Pierre a credit of 120.000€ for his projects on the use of the 7 Tesla MRI in neurological research.
