Children of Gaza and US universities: there is still hope

Les enfants de Gaza et les universités US : il y a de l'espoir toujours

The Israeli president even decreed that all residents, including children, are terrorists. HE obviously hasn’t seen this little film which shows endearing, moving and I would say beautiful children.

An autistic-like syndrome without architectural modifications!

Syndrome type autistique

To treat autism, I have often insisted on the importance of determining the electrical modifications, particularly the inaugural pathological event which occurs in utero.

We have thus … Read more

A call from US writers and artists on the Israël/Palestine conflict

WE ARE JEWISH WRITERS, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic.

The challenges of in-vivo GABA and glutamate measurements in the preterm neonatal brain

GABA and glutamate undergo developmental changes in their organization, and for GABA even its polarity (from Excitation to Inhibition). There are experimental indications that they are also impacted by in-utero insults and by alterations in labor and birth. Animal and human studies also indicate that preterm birth is associated with an increased incidence of developmental disorders … Read more

Cesarean Section delivery in mice leads to smaller brain volumes at birth

Birth is a complex and intricate physiological process involving several mechanisms that allow a swift adaptation of the newborn to extrauterine life. Indeed, during birth the brain undergoes profound changes to cope with oxygen deprivation and the squeezing of the head.
