Congrats to @catawina & Miguel Castelo-Branco 👏👏.

📈 Sham group showed trend for better outcomes at 4w.🧾 tDCS improved compulsive behavior & QoL. tDCS shows promise for autism: it's safe, well tolerated & feasible for further research. Read the study👇. #Autism #tDCS #Neurostimulation #ClinicalTrialgame.

#NewResearch tests TPJ-targeted tDCS to improve social cognition in autistic youth. ⚡🧠. Key findings:.👥 Safe, well tolerated in 10–17 y/o.⚖️ Recruitment feasibility was challenging, but excellent adherence and retention.📉 No effect on social responsiveness post-treatment

Our researcher Magda Ferreira Rodrigues attended the XVII European Meeting of Glial Cells in Health and Disease in Marseille, France. Magda presented her research through a poster and was also awarded a Network Glia stipend in recognition of her work! Congratulations to Magda! 👏

Congrats to João R. Neves, Miguel Castelo-Branco & @joanatgoncalves 👏👏.

🔬 Changes in HPG hormones & hypothalamic Kiss receptor. Neonatal kisspeptin is key to lifelong social programming. #Neuroendocrinology #SocialBehavior #DevelopmentalBiology. Read the full paper here 👇.

#NewResearch shows that blocking kisspeptin during the neonatal period reshapes social behavior long-term. 🧠. Key findings:.👶Temporary neonatal Kiss blockade alters testosterone in a sex-specific way.🗣️ Impacts social communication & social behavior

Congrats to Maria Carolina Fortunato, João R. Neves, @LapoPais , Carla Fonseca, Daniela Silva, João Martins, Miguel Castelo-Branco, Ana Fortuna & @joanatgoncalves 👏👏.

🧠 Driven by gut-brain axis changes. Maternal diet matters and is sex-specific in brain development. #Neurodevelopment #GutBrainAxis #MaternalHealth. Full paper👇.

#NewResearch finds that maternal tryptophan intake shapes offspring brain and behavior—differently in males and females. Key findings:.♀️ Females: disrupted gut microbiota, lower brain serotonin, ↑ anxiety.♂️ Males: ↑ brain tryptophan, ↑ repetitive behavior

João also presented a poster on the 49th FEBS Congress on July 5-9, in Istanbul. Congratulations to João Neves! 👏🔬

Our researcher João Neves was one of the 100 young researchers selected to participate in 24th FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum on July 2-5, in Sapanca. João presented his phD work through a poster and a 1-minute flash talk.

#NewResearch used two-photon live imaging to reveal how microglia evolve across across life stages. Key findings:.👶 Neonatal: Active but clumsy.🧍‍♂️ Adult: Calm but sharp.👵 Aged: Quiet and slow

The day ended with an honest and inspiring roundtable on neuroscience careers. A huge thank you to all participants for sharing your passion, questions, and curiosity! 🙌💙

like music-based neurofeedback and Scratch, we explored how neuroscience is being applied across clinical, therapeutic, and educational settings - including cancer, epilepsy, autism, and beyond. 💡🧠🔬

🧠🎓 On the last day of summer school we had front-row seats to the work being developed at CIBIT - a day full of science, stories, and inspiration!. From neurodiversity and neurovascular development to mental health, brain stimulation, and innovative tools

In the demo workshops, we got hands-on with EEG caps, brain stimulation devices, MRI tech, and near-infrared spectroscopy gear!🧑‍🔬🎛️
