🔬A new study led by @GLB_Lab at @NeuroAlc is now published in #JNeurosci @SfNJournals 🙌
Researchers have discovered that the thalamus actively contributes to visual circuit development by regulating interneuron integration. More info 👇

🧠 @GuilleLBendito lidera un proyecto sobre cómo se organiza la corteza cerebral en áreas sensoriales.
Su equipo @GLB_Lab estudia la interacción entre programas genéticos y la actividad neuronal temprana, con implicaciones para los trastornos del neurodesarrollo.

Thanks @GoCasteloBranco and Ana Falcao for leading this first edition of the FENS-Hertie Winter School at Alicante. @NeuroAlc @FENSorg
A fantastic week in Alicante discussing single-cell and spatial omics in the CNS! Thanks @FENSorg, all the speakers, students for lots of discussions, great talks and lots of fun in the social activities, the local organizers inc. @si_de_santis and co-chair Ana Falcão.

Hace unos días finalizaron nuestras charlas divulgativas con motivo de la Semana de la Ciencia, y queremos expresar un enorme agradecimiento a todo el personal investigador que lo ha hecho posible👏
Gracias por inspirar, divulgar y acercar la neurociencia a la sociedad🧠✨

🚀 New from the lab! How do sensory cortices "know" whether they’ll become visual or somatosensory?🧠 We uncover early modality-identity genes in cortex, some set before thalamic innervation via cell-adhesion codes, others refined by thalamic activity. @GLB_Lab @NeuroAlc
New preprint on bioRvix! We show how cortical sensory-modality identity is instructed by a combinatorial cell-adhesion and activity codes using #snRNAseq #spatialtranscriptomics #functional imaging. Led by @T_Guillamon & @lpuche_1 from @GLB_Lab. Congrats @GuilleLBendito @NeuroAlc

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Karl Farrow from @KU_Leuven at our #SeminarsIN with his talk: “Adaptive Tuning of Instinctive Behaviours”
A fantastic lecture, thank you! 👏👏

🔥Thrilled to collab with @GuilleLBendito @GLB_Lab on decoding #thalamus #development! Led @lpuche_1, we reveal that sensory and non-sensory thalamic circuits emerge via distinct cell trajectories and gene programmes! Sp9 key for visual fate acquisition!

Excited to share our new preprint on #thalamus development! 🧠 We reveal how sensory and non-sensory circuits are specified early in embryogenesis using #mutiomics, #spatialtranscriptomics, #lineagetracing. @GLB_Lab @JPLopezAtalaya @NeuroAlc biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

As EMBO Young Investigator Programme Chair, @GuilleLBendito has helped drive a collective effort to rethink how research is assessed.
The initiative brought together the @EMBO community to explore more responsible and inclusive evaluation practices👇 embo.org/features/engaging-t…
