Portrait of snowboarder Cécile HERNANDEZ, athlete with multiple sclerosis. The images of Cécile descending a track on her snowboard and warming up alternate with an interview where she explains her fight for sport and against disease. She concluded by: "Sport is my life and life is a sport."
On the set of the show, neurologist François LHERMITTE, uncle of actor Thierry LHERMITTE, explains the name of multiple sclerosis. He then shows drawings of the connections of the brain, described in a work by Charcot.
At the Institute of the Brain and Spinal Cord (ICM), researchers are working on the mechanisms of multiple sclerosis. Violetta ZUJOVIC, a doctor of neuroscience at CIM and a researcher at Inserm, explains how the disease works using synthetic images.
