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.

Per contribuir en la formació dels/les estudiants del programa de PhD en Neurociències de l'INc-UAB, mitjançant l’assistència a congressos i reunions científiques on presentin el seu treball experimental, s'ha convocat una beca de viatges pel 2024.

The Neurodocs Student Association organized a calçotada last April 6, which brought together around 30 members of the Institute.

The Brain Awareness Week is a global initiative to which the Institute joins every year to give visibility to the research that is done on this organ and the nervous system in general.

The Institute has signed a collaboration agreement with AdSalutem, a reference center in sleep medicine and brain health. The idea of ¿¿the agreement is to promote collaborations between INc-UAB groups and professionals from the centre.

Researchers at the Institute have carried out two revealing studies on TRPV2, a key ion channel in several cellular functions, which points to it as a possible new therapeutic target in the treatment of hypertension. On the one hand, they have discovered the vessel-dilating effects of its activation and, on the other, they have identified a molecule capable of activating it in a more potent way than the drugs known to date.
