Highlight project : Cognitive immunitiy : SNSF Synergia

The Cognitive Immunity project, financed by a 4-year Sinergia grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, aims to investigate the cross-talk between the neural and the immune systems orchestrating anticipatory responses to potential immune threats. The MySpace lab is in charge of developing virtual reality (VR)-based protocols to investigate the behavioral, neuroimaging and psychophysiological components of the neuro-immune cross-talk. The other partners of this project are the groups of Camilla Jandus from the University of Geneva, Gérard Eberl and Pierre-Marie Lledo from the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
