An international research team, with the participation of the Neuroplasticity and regeneration research group, has developed a new solution to reduce the immune response triggered by neural prosthetics used after limb amputations or severe nerve injuries. The approach consists of coating the electronic implants (which connect the prosthetic device to the patient’s nervous system) with a potent anti-inflammatory drug. This coating helps the body better tolerate the implant, improving its long-term performance and stability.

Students of the Master’s in Neurosciences celebrated their graduation on June 20th, marking the end of a year filled with challenges and valuable learning experiences.

The first edition of the advanced in vivo calcium imaging workshop using Miniscopes took place at the Institute from June 10 to 12. This intensive course, organized by AnderoLab, equipped participants with essential skills to study neuronal activity in freely moving rodents.
