Honoured to help organise the 1st Systems -IN- Action meeting next March 2026 in Alicante-Spain. A new forum created to set the direction for the next wave in brain circuits, systems, behaviour, with AI & computation. Registration is now open until 15/1 and limited to 120 people!

Join our team! If you want to pursue a PhD in neuroscience, we offer a position to investigate in our project "Subcortical mechanisms of salience coding and gaze control", funded by the Spanish MICIU/AEI.

📅 September 19th ⏰11:30h 📍 Salón de graos vello da Facultade de Bioloxía Cecilia Jiménez López, from our Neurocircuits Group, will defend her doctoral dissertation: "Revealing the pupillary light reflex and vestibular circuits in early vertebrates". #EUFunds #teamCINBIO

The @NeuroAlc Christmas Meeting is back for 2025! 🎄🧠 A great chance for postdocs and PIs in neuroscience to meet, share ideas and connect with us. Join us in Alicante, Dec 18–19. Apply by Oct 15! #NeuroScience #ChristmasMeeting_IN

New in Current Biology "Presynaptic and postsynaptic determinants of claustro-cortical connectivity" CLA→ACC projections are highly specific: defined by presynaptic identity, postsynaptic target, and cortical layer. Check it here: https://t.co/8uhUAPpiQQ #Neuroscience #Claustrum

👁️ Como se desenvolve a vertixe? Imaxinas poder entender esta patoloxía grazas ao estudo dos ollos da lamprea? Niso traballa un equipo do @cinbio_uvigo, que observa en tempo real a reacción dos antigos vertebrados a est��mulos visuais 👇 https://t.co/eTfyG42sV5

Our paper showing a novel retino-iridal projection that mediates the pupillary light reflex synergistically with iris intrinsic contraction is finally out! @cinbio_uvigo https://t.co/ve8W9bJPXc

New study from our lab! We report a novel pupillary light reflex (PLR) mechanism in lampreys. Direct retino-iridal projections act synergystically with iris intrinsic contraction to achieve the PLR, indicating that PLR was mediated in early vertebrates intrinsically to the eye .

Very happy to share our latest article 🥹 We show that cholecystokinergic axons spontaneously regenerate after a complete #SCI in lampreys. We would like to thank the @Neurensano group for the amazing collaboration! @BarreiroAnton @gnsduran @DanielSobrido https://t.co/cs0wjIjOpf

I am very happy to have the opportunity to present our work in the Claustrum-ACC connectivity at the SfN2023 in Washington DC #SfN2023 #neuroscience @StratNeuro (Zach Chia, @SilberbergGilad @AnTokarska, Johanna, and G.J. Augustine)

🧠El pasado martes vivimos una excelente Jornada de #Neurociencia #SENC en la Facultade de Ciencias da Saúde de la @UDC_gal 👏¡Muchas gracias a ponentes y asistentes por participar en este encuentro! @CICAUDC @_Neurocom @cimususc @UniversidadeUSC @uvigo

📢O 7 de novembro a @SENC_ organiza unha Xornada de Neurociencia na Coruña aberta a alumn@s @castoriva @Neurensano @AVieitesPrado @jannette_rp @chillydogsauce #PabloArias @cimususc @cinbio_uvigo @CICAUDC @UnistemSantiago @_neurocom @FCSaude_UDC @UniversidadeUSC @uvigo @UDC_gal

Our new study unveiling the stepwise functional development of gaze controlling circuits, from stabilizing to goal-oriented responses, is finally out! Very nice working again with @suz_dg, and very proud of -twitterless- Marta and Carmen ! @cinbio_uvigo https://t.co/EDkZ7szS9H

New study from the lab showing the development of visuomotor circuits and ocular movements in lampreys. Fantastic work of Marta Barandela, Carmen Núñez, and Cecilia Jiménez; and the priceless contribution of @suz_dg and Manuel Pombal. https://t.co/eLfRmUGSXg

Aquí les dejo un artículo en The Conversation que @Neurensano y yo hemos escrito sobre las vacaciones. ¡Espero que lo disfruten! @cinbio_uvigo @karolinskainst Cómo descansar al máximo en vacaciones para volver con las pilas cargadas https://t.co/qywDFeQgGu @Conversation_E

It's always amazing to listen to Marta Barandela's talks and the amazing issue Neurocircuits group is investigating! #6AMCINBIO @cinbio_uvigo

"How does the claustrum shape cortical activity?" Now we have the opportunity to listen to Roberto de la Torre (@RobertodelaTor), from @Karolinskainst. Thank you for another compelling talk! #6AMCINBIO #FEDERGalicia #HRS4R

Inscripción abierta hasta el 30 de Junio para las Jornadas para jóvenes 👩🏻‍🔬investigadores🔬en Neurociencia 🧠que se celebrarán el 21 de Jul. en la UDC- info: https://t.co/rxydxiamvl

Muchísimas gracias a @laautonomica y @ANA47394480 por la oportunidad de hablar sobre ciencia en el programa Una mas una (a partir del minuto 15). https://t.co/mStx8eAjJX
