Great scientific exchanges today at #SPONT2026 in Atami! 🧠🇯🇵

🎤 Francesco Dori presented his work on early astrocyte-neuron interactions.

📌 Luwei Wang shared her latest data on sensory circuit assembly during the poster session,

Proud to see them!

[Lopez_Bendito Lab @GLB_Lab]

Decoding how sensory circuits assemble requires precision, patience, and a lot of microscopy hours... but sometimes, the brain reveals itself as true art.

So proud of our team! 👏

Kicking off our Japan tour today! 🇯🇵🧠✨

@GuilleLBendito is presenting at TMIMS in Tokyo on sensory circuit assembly & plasticity!

Next stop: SPONT2026 in Atami!

[Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC @NeuroAlc]

🔬A new study led by @GLB_Lab at @NeuroAlc is now published in #JNeurosci @SfNJournals 🙌
Researchers have discovered that the thalamus actively contributes to visual circuit development by regulating interneuron integration. More info 👇

FENS is wrapped up, the World Cup is over... and our sights are officially set on Japan! 🏆🇯🇵

Only a few days left to register for #SPONT2026! Don't miss the chance to join the global neurodevelopmental community to discuss spontaneous activity and neural wiring. 🧠⚡️

[Lopez_Bendito Lab @GLB_Lab]

🚀 The grand finale of an unforgettable week! As #FENS2026 comes to a close today, we want to thank everyone who stopped by to discuss neuroscience. Highly inspiring days that remind us that no lab is an island. Safe travels back home, everyone!
