A team led by Dr Albert Quintana has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases. The discovery, based on mice models, challenges the traditional idea that these disorders are caused by a generalised energy deficiency and instead reveals a precise disfunction in specific brain circuits.

The Spanish Society for Neuroscience (SENC) has presented the Manifesto for Brain Research, a call to place Spain at the forefront of the neuroscientific revolution.

In the 11th edition of the Best Global Universities (BGU) ranking, published by U.S. News & World Report, the UAB ranks as the number 1 institution in Spain for neuroscience research and 52nd in the world.

Once again, we held our scientific meeting, bringing together 150 participants in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

Last week, a new edition of the Institute’s Master’s in Neuroscience started, with X students, under the coordination of Dr. Clara Penas.

The treatment, licensed to Klotho Neurosciences, is based on a technology developed at the Institute.

Two students from Institut Les Vinyes have received an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Argó Awards from the UAB for their research project, developed in collaboration with the research group led by Dr. Lydia Giménez-Llort.

This year’s gINCana was a big hit! With over 50 participants and 15 enthusiastic volunteers, this now-traditional summer event once again brought the community together for a day of fun and competition.

On September 9th, the Master's students in Neurosciences (2024–2025) will present their Master's theses. Check the schedule.

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.
