Sara and Parisa Khalilian: twin theses
It's hard to miss this pair on the Institut Pasteur campus in Paris. Obviously they're twins, but there's more to them than that. Even a brief encounter with these two characters gives a sense of their energy, curiosity and abundant optimism. Full of enthusiasm, they take turns to tell us about the unique journey that led to them completing their theses at the Institut Pasteur. These determined,...

Why are sounds not perceived under anesthesia?
The purpose of anesthesia is to put the brain into an unconscious state in which stimuli such as sounds are not perceived. In this state, the neurons in the auditory cortex are still stimulated by sounds, but the latter are not perceived by the brain. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay have revealed a novel neural mechanism that accompanies the transition...

The Black Death shaped the evolution of immunity genes, setting the course for how we respond to autoimmune diseases today, researchers find
Researchers from the Institut Pasteur, McMaster University and the University of Chicago have identified genes that protected some individuals against the devastating bubonic plague pandemic that swept through Europe, Asia and Africa nearly 700 years ago. The same genes that once conferred protection against the Black Death are today associated with an increased susceptibility to autoimmune...

New progress on the genetic factors involved in dyslexia
Three studies conducted by an international consortium, published in the journals Molecular Psychiatry, PNAS and Nature Genetics, have revealed several dozens of genes associated with dyslexia and reading skills. These analyses, performed on a large number of participants, have enabled scientists to detect the first genetic variations associated with dyslexia and reading skills in genes involved...
