Professor Raul Andero’s laboratory, Translational Mechanisms of Fear Memory, has registered a European patent on the use of Fezolinetant—a drug originally developed to treat vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause—for modulating the consolidation of aversive memories.

Seventeen female researchers from the Institute have been recognized in the recent "Ranking of Spanish Women Researchers" published this February.

To commemorate February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, our Institute lanched several initiatives to give visibility to women scientists and inspire young girls to pursue scientific careers.

A research team at the Institute has developed a new protein capable of improving memory and reducing Tau protein levels in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. The new compound, HEBE, generated by fusing three proteins, represents a new approach in the search for new strategies to tackle the disease.

A review published in Molecular Psychiatry by ICREA Professor Dr. Raül Andero delves into the intricate mechanisms underlying fear memory, offering a comprehensive analysis that integrates findings from both human and animal studies. Read the publication

A research team from the Institute has discovered that the two key pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s—tau protein and beta-amyloid—affect brain circuits in distinct yet synergistic ways, particularly those linked to memory and emotions. Read the article

The AnderoLab is hosting an advanced workshop on in vivo calcium imaging using Miniscopes from June 10th to 12th, 2025. This intensive three-day course will equip participants with essential skills for studying neuronal activity in freely moving rodents.

The Institut has been selected to receive funding through the 2024 convocatoria de Equipamiento Científico-Técnico, promoted by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI).

AnderoLab, at Institut de Neurociències de la UAB, 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.

The research links gut microbiota to the predisposition for developing food addiction and associates the presence of specific bacterial types with the risk of this disorder. Read the article
