A switch telling the brain when to learn and when to remember
The memory system alternates between periods of learning and remembering. These two functions are controlled by different neural circuits. Using an animal model, scientists from the Institut Pasteur recently identified a neural signal in the hippocampus, a brain region essential for forming and recalling memories, that enables the brain to alternate between remembering and learning modes. The...

How the brain detects and regulates inflammation
How does the brain adapt our behavior in response to an infection or injury? A multidisciplinary team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, CNRS and Inserm have revealed the existence of a circuit involved in sensing and also in the regulation of the anti-inflammatory response orchestrated by different brain regions. This circuit detects inflammation in the blood and organizes and regulates...

COVID-19: reducing outbreak risk with repeated antigen screening in healthcare facilities
With the emergence of the Omicron variant, healthcare facilities remain highly vulnerable to virus spread. Effective surveillance of viral presence in these facilities is therefore crucial and needs to be adapted according to outbreak risk. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur worked with colleagues to analyze the reactive use of antigen testing in a long-term care facility following a detected...

Escherichia coli bacteria establish antibiotic resistance via a defense mechanism
A defense system has been discovered in Escherichia coli bacteria by Institut Pasteur scientists. In this system, the bacteria eliminate a small DNA molecule (the plasmid) known to carry antibiotic resistance genes, but not before the resistance genes have been integrated into the bacterial chromosome. In defending themselves, the bacteria establish antibiotic resistance. This discovery is a...

Listeria virulence: the key role of gene expression
The bacterium Listeria monocytogenes can be pathogenic to humans and cause listeriosis, a potentially fatal infection. Until now, the variability in the pathogenicity of Listeria monocytogenes was not clearly understood. But a team from the Institut Pasteur has recently shed new light on a new mechanism that determines virulence by regulating gene expression.
