🧠 @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.

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
