This July, the Institute of Neurosciences has taken part in two of Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera's leading programmes aimed at promoting scientific vocations: the Barcelona International Youth Science Challenge (BIYSC) and Joves i Ciència.

Dr. Adam Ranson, group leader at the Institute, has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept Grant for NEURODOCK, a project that aims to develop a new technology for studying brain activity in mice under more natural conditions.

The 2nd Conference on 3D Technologies for Teaching Clinical Sciences will take place in the Laia Acarín room on 14 July, from 2:00 p.m. Program

On July 6th, the Master's students in Neurosciences (2025–2026) will present their Master's theses. Check the schedule.

From 9 to 11 June, the Institute hosted the second edition of the "Basic Training on Miniscopes in Neuroscience" course, an initiative led by AnderoLab to bring cutting-edge neural imaging techniques closer to students and researchers.

A study led by Dr. Raül Andero suggests that assessing the relationship between two hormones present in both men and women, estradiol and progesterone, could help better understand how memory works. Read the article

More than 40 students participating in the CROMA programme, run by the Fundació Autònoma Solidària, came to the Institute to present their projects and visit our laboratories.

We celebrated the first edition of the Institute’s olINCpic Games on May 21. Organized by Neurodocs, our student association, the event was a great success, with more than 40 participants registered.

The 13th edition of the Cajal Conference 2026, organized by the Sociedad Española de Neurociencia, was held last week in Cádiz. The meeting, which included members of the Institute on the organizing committee, served to share advances, foster scientific debate, and promote new collaborations within the neuroscience community.

Over the weekend of April 18–19, the Festa de la Ciència in Barcelona took place, and both the Institute and Neurodocs joined in with a wide range of activities!
