FondaMental foundation

By 2011, it had established eight mental health expert centers within existing hospital facilities in Créteil, Paris, Versailles, Bordeaux, Nancy, Montpellier, Grenoble, and Marseille.

[1] By 2017, the number of FondaMental-supported expert centers had grown to 43: 12 on bipolar disorder, 10 on schizophrenia, 8 on high-functioning autism, and 13 on treatment-resistant depression.

It also conducts initiatives in the areas of medical and scientific training, public education, and policy advocacy in relation with mental health, mostly in France.

Its main governing body is a Board of directors (French: conseil d'administration), chaired as of mid-2022 by David de Rothschild.

FondaMental raises significant ethical questions, and its methods are not unanimously accepted, with neurotechnologies being in constant progress.
