What is ICM?

“The ICM carries out research on brain and spinal cord disorders; it is a centre operating with cutting edge technology whose sole objective is to prevent, treat and cure brain and spinal cord malfunction.” Professor Gérard Saillant, ICM Chairman.

Sport or road accident, Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, paraplegia, cerebro-vascular accidents, multiple sclerosis, depression, psychoses: today, neurological and psychiatric diseases affect one person in eight, resulting in a total of 10 million patients in Europe at present.

The ICM's scientific objective is to understand the causes and mechanisms behind the major nervous system pathologies, and to offer new and specific treatments within a short-term perspective.

Thanks to progress in neuroscience research, the treatment of nervous system diseases, which used to be considered to be symptomatic and "palliative" will become more effective, and may become preventive and curative.
