The Institute for Neurosciences of Montpellier (INM) concentrates basic research for studying transduction, integration and disorders of sensory and motor systems. The INM houses several teams working on vision, hearing, somatosensory wiring, and myelination. Molecular to systems level investigations are carried-out through core technical facilities at the INM. Our outputs favor the development of new treatments for sensory and motor deficits, with the strong interest on inherited retinal and optic blindness, auditory neuropathies (deafness and tinnitus), neurodegenerative diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, giant axonal neuropathy), sensitivity disorders (touch and pain) and glial pathologies (gliomas and Charcot Marie Tooth disease).
