Fighting for Freedom
The former slave gets into the eye of the Caribbean hurricane during the French Revolution there in 1794. He fights in Napoleonic Wars and get English Pow. He returns back to Guadeloupe after his release and takes part in the rebellion of the Bataillon des Antilles in May 1802 when slavery was to be reintroduced by the order of Napoleon. The unit is expelled from the island. François is ordered to serve in Mantua, where he escapes and finds refuge in the Danish duchy of Holstein. He settles there and founds a family in October 1806. François is a direct ancestor of the author. His biography is retraced. The conditions of slave trade are analyzed for Nigeria, the trade itself as are society...
Joachim et Caroline Murat
C'est en 1800, à trente-trois ans, que Joachim Murat, douzième enfant d'une modeste famille de la Bastide-Fortunière (près de Cahors), épousa Caroline, dix-huit ans, la plus jeune sœur de Bonaparte. Sans son intervention musclée, le coup d'Etat de Brumaire, où Napoléon jouait son avenir, aurait probablement échoué. Michel Lacour-Gayet, avec rigueur et minutie, raconte, à partir de sources nombreuses et les plus sûres, la trajectoire ambitieuse, fastueuse et finalement tragique du plus brillant cavalier de l'Empereur, et de son épouse, une jeune femme intelligente et artiste, dont les écarts amoureux - qu'ils soient dus à la passion ou simplement à l'intérêt - ne mirent jam...
Functional Surgery of Cerebellopontine Angle by Minimally Invasive Retrosigmoid Approach
The cerebellum is the area at the back of the brain that controls motor movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone. The pons connects the cerebral cortex (responsible for thinking perceiving, producing and understanding language) with the medulla oblongata (controls autonomic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart and blood vessel function, swallowing and sneezing). It also serves as a communications centre between the two hemispheres of the brain. The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is the anatomical space at the junction of the cerebellum and the pons and is a frequent site of benign tumour formation and other non life-threatening, functional disorders.

The Vestibular System in Cognitive and Memory Processes in Mammals
Since the beginning of life, all plant and animal kingdoms have been developed or modified based on gravity along with atmospheric composition and solar radiation existing on Earth. Gravity is mainly encoded by the otolithic sensors of the vestibular system but its role has been largely underestimated in favor of the vestibular semicircular canals and reduced to oculomotor and postural coordination. Over the last decade, it has been demonstrated that sensory information provided by the vestibular system is crucial in spatial-memory processes in rats and humans. More recently a role in attention processes has been raised. This topic aims to report and demonstrate the role and integration of vestibular information in cognitive processes in rodent models and human at the behavioral, imaging and electrophysiological levels.
Retrotransposition, Diversity and the Brain
This Fondation IPSEN Colloque Médecine et Recherche was devoted to the interface between the complexity of brain organization and function, the mechanisms for generating diversity and genetic mobility. The goal was to expand the current limits of research in neurobiology not only to the benefit of those interested in the cellular and molecular processes but also for the understanding of high-level cognitive functions and the understanding of complex mental diseases.
