Our new paper is finally out!!! 🧠 DNMT1 links epigenetics to PV interneuron–glia crosstalk! Its loss in PV cells alters glial gene programs and disrupts cortical network synchrony and elicits depression like phenotypes! Thanks to all! nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Whiskers instead of cameras, lidar, GPS 🐭 @tudelft researchers built a 44g drone with touch sensors like a mouse's to map places where visual and radio signals aren't effective. The software requires only 34kB and keeps computational processing needs low.

Why do neural networks become modular? Our paper is now out in Nature Machine Intelligence! @NaturePortfolio We show that multi-task learning promotes modularity under limited capacity and task demands help explain features of brain architecture in addition to the spatial constraints. Great thanks to all the co-authors. @WHYWYH007 @yifannnwu @DaniSBassett @marcelomattar rdcu.be/YJ12NBxvrHsa

#lipidtime: It's a lipid universe. Today in Nature we publish the Lipid Brain Atlas, the first map of membrane lipid composition across the entire mouse brain, a layer of organisation that cell-type and transcript maps had left out. #lipidomics #neuroscience #BrainAtlas

A couple of weeks ago, our paper on the developmental origins of cortical projection neurons was published in Science Advances 🧠 Very happy and proud to finally share this work! ✨ doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adw54…

Un equipo del #CNB_CSIC revela que la corteza cerebral se desarrolla a partir de 2 linajes neuronales y no siguiendo un único programa secuencial También identifica un factor de transcripción que actúa como interruptor y decide qué neurona se producirá 👉f.mtr.cool/yzwtsypheq

Como cada año, el IMI del CSIC muestra lo de siempre. La carrera investigadora está MUY mal planteada, es incompatible con la vida y las que primero lo sufren son las mujeres. Esto no se arregla con más financiación. Se arregla CAMBIANDO profundamente el sistema.
