🧠@guillelbendito.bsky.social lidera un proyecto sobre cómo se organiza la corteza cerebral en áreas sensoriales.
Su equipo @glb-lab.bsky.social estudia la interacción entre programas genéticos y la actividad neuronal temprana, con implicaciones para trastornos del neurodesarrollo.
#Neurociencia

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🧠✨

A 4-year PhD position in my lab at the @neuroalc.bsky.social its now available! @glb-lab.bsky.social

Combinatorial Cell-Adhesion and Activity Codes Instruct Cortical Modality Identity The emergence of functional sensory modalities requires precise cortical arealization and thalamocortical connectivity. While early morphogen gradients broadly initiate cortical patterning, how sensor...

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. Congrats to everyone on this work! @guillelbendito.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social

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! 👏👏

Inspiring talks at #AXON2025:
@eloisaherrera.bsky.social on reusing axon guidance mechanisms to repair the adult visual system, and @guillelbendito.bsky.social (@glb-lab.bsky.social) on how spontaneous activity and genes shape sensory circuit development 👏#Neuroscience

Earlier today at AXON MEETING 2025 in Rotterdam, our PI @guillelbendito.bsky.social shared new insights into:
How spontaneous activity meets genetic programs in the development of sensory circuits 🧠
Thank you to all who joined the session and contributed to the discussion! @neuroalc.bsky.social

Heading to #AXON2025? Our PhD student Lorenzo Puche-Aroca will be presenting his poster today Sept 18:
📍 Session II (#18)
🧠 Spatiotemporal multi-omic profiling of the developing thalamus identifies distinct modality-specific lineages
Don't miss it! @neuroalc.bsky.social @guillelbendito.bsky.social

🚨PhD opportunity in our lab! 🎓
Interested in studying how neural activity & gene expression shape sensory cortex development?
We are looking for candidates with a computational background (bioinformatics, data science, transcriptomics). @neuroalc.bsky.social @guillelbendito.bsky.social #PhDposition

Early lineage divergence segregates sensory and non-sensory thalamic circuits The thalamus integrates sensory, motor, and associative functions via distinct nuclei, yet the developmental principles driving their specification remain unclear. Here, we generate a spatiotemporal s...

New preprint on bioRxiv! #singlecell #multiomics, #spatialtranscriptomics, #lineagetracing reveal 2 glutamatergic lineages arising from distinct progenitors; Sp9 regulates visual #thalamus fate! By Puche-Aroca et al. @guillelbendito.bsky.social @jplopez-atalaya.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social

Just wrapped an amazing talk by Teresa Guillamón-Vivancos at #CorticalDev2025! She shared new insights on how early molecular signals and neural activity interact to shape sensory specificity in the developing cortex. Thank you for the discussion! @guillelbendito.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social

🎉 Enhorabuena a la recién nombrada hoy Dra. Mar Aníbal-Martínez por su defensa de #TesisIN y felicitaciones a su directora de Tesis, la Dra. Guillermina López-Bendito @guillelbendito.bsky.social @glb-lab.bsky.social 🎉
@umh.es @csic.es @dicv.csic.es

Super proud of you Mar m. Beautiful thesis defense today! The best of luck for the future. We will miss you! @glb-lab.bsky.social
