For each of these four main fields, CEA relies on first-rate and Bernard Mazoyer fundamental research and offers support to industry. CEA operates 10 research centres in France, distributed across the country. It is developing numerous partnerships with other research organizations, local authorities and universities. In this respect, CEA is a stakeholder in national alliances coordinating French research in the fields of energy (Ancre), life and health sciences (Aviesan), digital sciences and technologies (Allistene), environmental sciences (AllEnvi) and humanities and social sciences (Athena). Particular emphasis is also placed on education and information of the public at large, in order to promote the transfer of 74 knowledge and foster the science-society debate. Widely recognized for its expertise in its areas of competence, CEA is fully engaged as a player in the European Research Area and is making its presence increasingly felt on the international scene.

This 62nd issue of Clefs CEA is the best occasion C to come back on the latest advances of these works, undertaken most of the time in partnership with other research organizations such as Inserm (the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research), CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research), Inria (the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control), the Collège de France, and Paris-Sud University. CEA’s involvement in this wide field – which accounts for about 20% of research in biology in France – initially started with the use of artificial radioisotopes to explore the brain in action. The cradle of this research since 1958, the Frédéric Joliot Hospital Service (SHFJ) welcomed the first PET camera in France at the end of the 1970s and the first 2-tesla high-field MRI at the beginning of the CEA/L. Godard 1980s. The latter was built thanks to CEA’s know-how in intense fields. Three other large facilities dedicated to brain research span-off from SHFJ: Cyceron in “Over 30 years after Caen in 1985, NeuroSpin in Saclay in 2006, and MIRCen in Fontenay-aux-Roses in 2009. Each the first 2-tesla MRI, of these centres – all attached to the Institute of Biomedical Imaging (I2BM) of CEA’s Life Sciences CEA is getting ready to Division – hosts a high-level instrumental platform and neuroscience research teams jointly run with welcome an 11.7-tesla MRI, other organizations. They are capable of using in vivo imaging at the forefront of their research which constitutes another (including for clinical transfer) and at the same time of taking up new challenges
