"For these questions to be explored and transformed into knowledge, a structure that ensures stability, support, and continuity is essential."

Eight projects led by researchers from the Institute have been selected to receive funding from the Generación de Conocimiento 2024 program of the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI), the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN), and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Led by Dr. Albert Quintana, the project proposes an innovative approach to improve the treatment of mitochondrial diseases.

On November 12th, coinciding with Science Week, we held our traditional open house event, with more than a dozen laboratories taking part.

A team led by Dr Albert Quintana has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases. The discovery, based on mice models, challenges the traditional idea that these disorders are caused by a generalised energy deficiency and instead reveals a precise disfunction in specific brain circuits.

The Spanish Society for Neuroscience (SENC) has presented the Manifesto for Brain Research, a call to place Spain at the forefront of the neuroscientific revolution.

In the 11th edition of the Best Global Universities (BGU) ranking, published by U.S. News & World Report, the UAB ranks as the number 1 institution in Spain for neuroscience research and 52nd in the world.

AnderoLab is looking for volunteers to participate in a study investigating how sex, the menstrual cycle, and hormonal levels influence emotional memory modulation. If you are interested, please, fill in the form.

Once again, we held our scientific meeting, bringing together 150 participants in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

Last week, a new edition of the Institute’s Master’s in Neuroscience started, with X students, under the coordination of Dr. Clara Penas.
