Sumario:High energy neutrino interactions induce charmed hadron production at the level of a few percent and therefore they constitute a powerful tool to study charm physics. The CHORUS experiment can profit of the extremely high spatial resolution of nuclear emulsions to identify and study the charm production and decay vertexes. This experiment is now analyzing the final data sample and publishing new results on the charm physics with the muon neutrino beam at CERN. In this paper we review these results in the general framework of charm physics with neutrinos.
