Inter-institutional Cooperation to Support Brain Research (CINAPCE)

FAPESP Inter-institutional Cooperation to Support Brain Research (CInAPCe) aims at promoting the development of research in neuroscience through a network of cooperation among several research groups from São Paulo in a virtual institute dedicated to study the nervous system. The projects are carried out under the responsibility of a Principal Investigator, associated with higher education or research institutions in the State of São Paulo. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system. CInAPCe has been discontinued in 2015.

Abstract
We aim at investigating different aspects of the epilepsies in humans ranging from electrophysiological and immunocitochemical investigations of surgically ressected tissue to the evalution of new therapeutic strategies to be used in the prophylaxis of post-lesional epilepsies. The proposed experiments will rely on magnetic resonance imaging and thus will attempt to provide correlations b…
Temporal lobe epilepsy: a study correlating brain image, morphological features, electrophysiological findings, hormonal and neurochemical aspects in humans with and without mesial temporal sclerosis, AP.CINAPCE.TEM
Abstract
The interdisciplinary group for research into neuroimaging in epilepsy of the University of São Paulo's School of Medicine proposes to develop five research projects involving aspects of structural and functional neuroimaging in the study of cognitive and behavioral functions in adult and pediatric patients, who suffer from epilepsy as well as genetic aspects and characterization of the n…
Neuroscience Imaging Center at University of São Paulo Medical School, AP.CINAPCE.TEM
Abstract
This proposal aims to establish a base for one of the MRCs attached to the ClnAPCe program for studies in humans having as their base neuroimaging techniques of high field MR. The proposing group will be responsible for the carrying out of experimental studies and in patients with untreatable epilepsy, as well as developing new software and protocols for structural and functional MRI stud…
