Collaborations

GIGA

The global Imaging Genetics of Adolescents Initiative (GIGA) is a collaboration between several major cohorts in UK, Europe, USA, China, and India who investigate health outcomes in children and adolescents via behavioural and imaging genetic studies. Its aim is to enable comparative research on brain development and behaviour in different cultures, environments and ethnic groups, both in industrialized nations and low and medium income countries (LMIC). To this end GIGA is working towards harmonized data acquisition, retrieval, and analysis.

PONS

The Centre for Population Neuroscience and Precision Medicine (PONS) aims at establishing and analysing big neuroimaging genetic datasets to precisely identify brain mechanisms underlying behaviour, and their genetic and environmental mediators, thus enabling prediction and stratification of mental disorders. The Centre's research aims to enable powerful new solutions to elucidate the biological basis of dysfunctional behaviour and mental disorders in its environmental context on a population-wide and global scale.

NeuroSpin

NeuroSpin, led by Stanislas Dehaene, is a research center for innovation in brain imaging. Physicists, mathematicians, neuroscientists and doctors join forces to develop synergistically the tools and models that will allow to better understand the functioning of the normal and pathological brain, before or after treatment. Focused on neuroimaging, the research conducted ranges from technological and methodological developments (data acquisition and processing) to preclinical and clinical neuroscience, including cognitive neuroscience.

Lifespan Brain Chart Consortium

The Lifespan Brain Chart Consortium is an international collaborative initiative focused on developing normative brain reference charts across the human lifespan using large-scale neuroimaging data. The consortium aims to improve understanding of typical and atypical brain development and ageing through harmonised, population-scale analyses.

ENIGMA Consortium

The ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Consortium is a global network of researchers working collaboratively to study brain structure, function, and genetics across neurological and psychiatric disorders. Through large-scale data sharing and harmonised analyses, ENIGMA has advanced reproducible neuroscience research across diverse populations worldwide.
