Development, Plasticity and Regeneration of Thalamocortical Circuits @NeuroAlc
Thrilled to share our new paper published today in @ScienceMagazine! Huge congrats to @T_Guillamon and all the coauthors for the great work 👏 @GuilleLBendito @Mar_AnibalM @lpuche_1 @JAMoreno_Bravo @NeuroAlc 🧵1/3 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
🚨 Live now at #CorticalDev2025: @T_Guillamon is presenting her exciting work on how early molecular cues and neural activity shape sensory specificity in the developing cortex 🧠✨ Don't miss this deep dive into the roots of cortical development! @NeuroAlc @GuilleLBendito
🔥Thrilled to collab with @GuilleLBendito @GLB_Lab on decoding #thalamus #development! Led @lpuche_1, we reveal that sensory and non-sensory thalamic circuits emerge via distinct cell trajectories and gene programmes! Sp9 key for visual fate acquisition! 🔗biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to share our new preprint on #thalamus development! 🧠 We reveal how sensory and non-sensory circuits are specified early in embryogenesis using #mutiomics, #spatialtranscriptomics, #lineagetracing. @GLB_Lab @JPLopezAtalaya @NeuroAlc biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 New preprint on bioRxiv! #singlecell #multiomics, #spatialtranscriptomics, #lineagetracing reveal 2 glutamatergic lineages arising from distinct progenitors; Sp9 drives visual #thalamus fate. By @lpuche_1 et al. @GuilleLBendito @JPLopezAtalaya @NeuroAlc biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The 5th #SciencePhoto_IN has begun! Let's kick it off by voting for our colleague @F_Favaloro22 's photo: "No mental sweat, no neural net" 🧠 @NeuroAlc @GuilleLBendito
#SciencePhoto_IN "No mental sweat, no neural net. Think strong! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ" Author: Dr. @F_Favaloro22 Lab: @GLB_Lab "E16 coronal section from Rorb-Tomato::Gad1-GFP mouse brain. Rorb neurons and axons (magenta), gabaergic cells (blue), nuclei (green). With @LeicaMicro Thunder."
As EMBO Young Investigator Programme Chair, @GuilleLBendito has helped drive a collective effort to rethink how research is assessed. The initiative brought together the @EMBO community to explore more responsible and inclusive evaluation practices👇 embo.org/features/engag…
