25N00489 - Acquisition of MRI for structural and functional resonance studies: objective is to conduct scientific research in the context of brain plasticity in health and disease, investigating functional markers in this case.

This tender concerns the acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment intended for advanced scientific research focused on brain plasticity. The primary objective is to facilitate studies investigating the mechanisms of brain plasticity in both healthy individuals and those with various diseases. Specifically, the research will delve into functional markers associated with these conditions. The MRI system is expected to support both structural and functional resonance imaging techniques, enabling a comprehensive analysis of brain structure and activity. This acquisition is crucial for advancing scientific understanding of how the brain adapts and changes over time, and how these processes are altered in pathological states. The project aims to identify and characterize functional markers that could potentially serve as indicators for disease progression, treatment efficacy, or diagnostic tools. The acquired MRI equipment will be a key asset for a research program dedicated to exploring the complexities of the human brain, contributing to potential breakthroughs in neuroscience and clinical applications related to neurological and psychiatric disorders. The successful bidder will be responsible for providing the MRI system, ensuring its integration into the research environment, and potentially offering associated training and support services to enable the effective utilization of its advanced capabilities for cutting-edge scientific investigation.
