🎉 Today we celebrated the 18th IN Progress Report Workshop at @NeuroAlc ! Leaders from 7 of our 8 scientific programs shared their latest research, alongside posters by our 2nd-year PhD students. Here's a quick recap 🧵👇 #Neuroscience #jornadasIN2025
Today, the #IN_ResearchProgram ‘Building & adapting circuits into functional networks’ hosted a seminar featuring presentations by 4th-year PhD students Chiara Nappi, @francesco_dori, Ana Moreno Cerdá & Patricia Ordoño Carramina 👏 @fjtasan @GLB_Lab @JAMoreno_Bravo @LabEHerrera
🚨 We're hiring! A Research Project Manager position is open in our lab at the Institute of Neuroscience (CSIC-UMH, Alicante)! Join us in exploring how spontaneous activity shapes sensory circuits 🧠✨ 📅 Deadline: May 25 @GLB_Lab @NeuroAlc #Neuroscience #Jobs #ResearchManager

Huge congratulations to @Mar_AnibalM on successfully defending her PhD thesis today at @NeuroAlc- now officially Dr. Aníbal-Martínez! 🎓 An impressive presentation and discussion with her thesis director @GuilleLBendito and the committee. A proud moment for all of us in the lab!
Hoy hace un año que murieron dos relevantes #neurocientíficos y,sobre todo,queridos #amigos: #MiguelValdeolmillos (@GLB_Lab @NeuroAlc @UniversidadMH ) y #JorgeLarrivaSahd (@UNAM_MX @UNAMINB y propietario del #ArchivoRafaelLorentedeNó /@MOWLAC_unesco @UNESCO_es ). Inolvidables.
It’s an amazing project lead by a super talented junior leader! Go Teresa! @T_Guillamon
Además, la investigadora @T_Guillamon (@GLB_Lab ) está liderando un proyecto para comprender los efectos del cáncer cerebral en la actividad de neuronas y astrocitos, a nivel global 👏
Interested in the role of astrocyte-neuron interactions in sensory circuit assembly? Tomorrow April 16th from 2-4PM, our colleague Francesco will be sharing his latest results in poster booth #58 at the #EMBOastrocytes workshop! @NeuroAlc @SENC_
Learn more about astrocyte remodelling in the visual thalamus following early enucleation by visiting our colleague Pablo’s poster tomorrow April 16th from 2-4PM in booth #61 at the #EMBOastrocytes workshop. Do not miss it! @NeuroAlc @SENC_
Muchísimas Felicidades @JuanLerma1 por tu ingreso en la Real Academia de Ciencia Exactas, Fisicas y Naturales de España! @RACiencias. Enormemente merecido! @NeuroAlc

El Ayuntamiento de Mutxamel reconocerá la labor de la investigadora del @NeuroAlc Guillermina López-Bendito @GuilleLBendito en su Gala de la Mujer 2025 ‘Úniques mutxameleres’👏👏👏 🗓️Mañana 15/03/25 📍Casa de la Cultura #Mutxamel 🕣20:30 horas
Enhorabuena @de_decarlos!! II Premio D. Santiago Ramón y Cajal Trayectoria en su II edición a Juan de Carlos Segovia, Investigador del @InstitutoCajal @CSIC . santiagoramonycajal.org/2025/03/11/ii-… @ZEISSLenses
Super proud of this massive work led by @Mar_AnibalM from the lab. Early rescaling of barrel maps is possible and thanks to a transcriptional switch in thalamic neurons! Check it out! @GLB_Lab @NeuroAlc
🚀New paper out! Can somatosensory maps be reshaped before birth? We reveal a critical embryonic window where prenatal mystacial whiskers deprivation reorganizes facial maps, expanding upper lip representation, refining map resolution & enhancing function. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Thrilled to share our joint effort with the Hobert Lab, unraveling the regulation of a very unique gene locus essential for neuronal identity control in C. elegans, now out in @GenesDev!! And we got the cover! 👉 genesdev.cshlp.org/content/39/3-4…
NEW ISSUE ALERT!!! Check out the new Research Articles, Review and Outlook Articles online now at Genes & Development. Click on the link for more: ➡️ genesdev.cshlp.org/content/current
Kick-off for our @NeuroAlc Christmas 🎄 meeting! Excited for two days packed with science and collaboration! Wishing a Merry Christmas 🎁! @GLB_Lab
