On Friday, September 27th, the European Researchers' Night was celebrated across Europe, and researchers from the Human Laboratory and the Neuroplasticity and Regeneration Research Group participated in the event

Next September 16, a group of students of the Official Master's in Neurosciences 2023-2024 will present their final projects. It will be from 9:00 a.m. on, in classrooms C5/016 and C5/018 of the Biosciences building. We attach the list of presentations.

A study led by Drs. Emma Puighermanal and Albert Quintana, and published in the journal Nature Communications, demonstrates in animal models how daily administration of cannabidiol (CBD) extends lifespan and improves symptoms associated with Leigh syndrome. The research group also demonstrated in both mice and fibroblasts from children with the disease that CBD improves cellular function.

"In this thesis, we focused on a promising molecule: Klotho, as it can simultaneously counteract several ALS alterations".

The Best Global Universities Rankings, published by US News, places the UAB in the 1st position of the Spanish universities doing research in Neurosciences and the #49 in the world.

Once again, the labs coordinated by Drs. Raül Andero and Lydia Giménez-Llort received an international group of high-school students participating in the BIYSC program, organized by the La Pedrera Foundation.

The Translational Mechanisms of Fear Memory Lab described in an article published in Science Advances the detection of new neuronal circuits involved in fear memory that differ in males and females. These findings have profound implications in understanding human neuropsychiatric disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which exhibit fear memory alterations.

A study coordinated by Dr Xavier Navarro demonstrates in animal models how EGNITE, a derivative of graphene, allows the creation of smaller electrodes, which can interact more selectively with the nerves they stimulate, thus improving the efficacy of the prostheses.

Last May 21, we received 42 students from different schools from El Vallès, who participated in the CROMA program, organized by the FAS.

The Anoche tuve un sueño magazine awarded Dr. Albert Quintana for his project to create a kit to detect antibiotic resistance.
