A center of excellence  in CNS

Our experts led Research Department at the forefront of CNS fields

Forenap : a major player in CNS innovation

Our research program explores different CNS physiological functions : we develop our expertise in the  field of neurosciences and more precisely in psychiatry, psychopharmacology, algology, neurology, electrophysiology and neuroimaging. Our research is focused on 4 main orientations :

• CNS basic physiological states: sleep, wake, vigilance.
• Acute pain states or chronic pain states : neuropathic pain is reproduced by techniques producing hyperalgesia and allodynia via chemical, immunological or physical mechanisms
• Cognitive functions: learning, memory, attention, executive functions, emotions....
• Emotional states : emotional biases or emotional deficits in neuropsychiatric diseases (anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disease), emotional fluctuations and/or drug induced mood changes.

Our biomarker studies result in innovative tests, notably in human models of different diseases : our clinical research process is optimized.

Strengthening our expertise

Having a unique partner for performing healthy volunteers studies and patient studies is a valuable asset in drug development. Located in the middle of a psychiatric hospital, Forenap is your partner from preclinical development to phase III studies. This continuity of service ensures a perfect control of your entire project.
Our CRO has access to advanced technical platforms and/or to high-tech medical imagery equipments (fMRI, PET-scan), but we also have in-house techniques (EEG, PSG, etc.).
