Neurochlore is a pioneering startup founded in 2012 by Prof. Y. BEN-ARI, dedicated to studying the fundamental mechanisms of the brain. The company utilizes unique concepts like Neuroarchaeology and GABAergic Polarity to understand the excitation/inhibition balance crucial for brain development. Disruptions in this balance are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, as well as brain tumors. Neurochlore supports two startups: B&A Oncomedical, developing a combined anti-cancer molecule approach for brain tumors, and B&A Biomedical, using AI for healthcare and biology data analysis. Neurochlore's research focuses on neurodevelopment, neuro-archeology, pregnancy, and the role of Bumetanide and GABA polarity, with projects including identifying Bumetanide responders for autism spectrum disorders, developing therapeutic approaches for brain tumors, and creating new NKCC1 inhibitors.
