Jorge Almeida's opinion on the future of science in Portugal is out today in @Publico. 👏 @cogbooster_uc @JAlmeidaCogNeur publico.pt/2025/06/02/cie…

Congratulations to researcher Roberto dos Santos on completing his Master’s in Molecular and Translational Neuroscience at @befmuc! His thesis, on ageing and Alzheimer’s disease, was supervised by André Peres and Maria Ribeiro. Excellent work! 👏 @CIBIT_UC @cogbooster_uc

Wishing all the best to André Peres in his new role as a professor at @bioinfo_UFRN with the ObjectColumns project! The project explores how the human brain processes visual info to improve AI algorithms and it's funded by Conhecimento Brasil. Well done! 👏

🎯Abstract submission by July 31! Additional information and guidelines can be found at uc.pt/cogbooster/saw… @ProactionLab @UnivdeCoimbra

Joana Carvalho, alongside Jorge Almeida and Zohar Tal, joins IndiBrain, an MSCA Doctoral Network led by Frans Cornelissen (UMCG, NL)! The team will host PhD students to study what makes each brain unique. Congrats! 👏 @MSCActions @campusgr_ @JoanaCOCarvalho @UnivdeCoimbra

Congrats to Zohar Tal on the @fct_pt funding for the project “CrossToPlasticity”! 🎉 The study explores auditory cortex organization in congenitally deaf individuals using fMRI and behavioral analysis, aiming to advance cochlear implant development. 🧠👂 @cogbooster_uc

Lénia Amaral presented her work at the International Multisensory Research Forum! Her talk, “Stable, but unique: individualized connectivity in the blind V1 over time”, reflects her postdoc work with @StriemAmit at the SAMP Lab, @Georgetown. @durham_uni #IMRF2025 @AmaralLenia
