Institute Neurosciences des Systèmes

Presentation

The Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes (INS, UMR1106) is a multidisciplinary research institute of Inserm and Aix-Marseille University located on La Timone
Campus in Marseille, France. INS members are comprised of academic faculty and clinicians of La Timone Hospital (APHM) institutions, as well as Inserm and CNRS researchers.
The research program at INS is focused on understanding the complex dynamics of the brain and altogether, we capitalize on our symbiotic proficiencies by integrating
experimental, theoretical and clinical approaches towards understanding brain function and dysfunction. INS houses a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities of brain research, which includes the MEG facility, TMS-EEG with a Brain Navigation system, various electrophysiology laboratories, an epileptic patient unit, and The Virtual Brain platform. INS researchers perform research across species ranging from the rodent to the human brain to uncover the mechanisms underlying the functioning of the healthy brain and its disorders, notably epilepsy as the paradigmatic dynamic brain disease.
