A great colloquium talk from the MD/PhD
student in the lab!

[Jacob @NeuroNoeker]

Gave my first colloquium talk for grad school, and technically my first true neuroscience talk today!

[AraqueLab @LabAraque]

@mmf_89 @NatureNeuro Fascinating work, Mario!

[Mario Martin-Fernandez @mmf_89]

I am thrilled to see my postdoctoral work finally published in @NatureNeuro ! (free access here: https://t.co/Myl2RGGaNv). We used in vivo ephys and a new behavioral paradigm to elucidate what the PFC represents when mice face danger. These are the main findings of our work: 🧵

Finally, last paper of the lab is out! Happy to share the great work led by @Candela85072067 with the collaboration of @AndreaSanRu @Julio_EI @LuciaArancibia @csanchezpuelles @fkirchhoff_hom Jorge Ramírez-Franco and Davide Gobbo

Amazing paper!
Congratulations @JulirosaNeuro and team, and thank you for making me part of it.

[JuliRosa_Neuro @JulirosaNeuro]

1/4🥳Thrilled to announce the 1st paper from my lab, now out in @CellReports. A team effort with @Picalagartos_ lab, in collab with @LabAraque and @SoriaFN. Kudos to 1st authors @Claudiaemecu @MartaZaforas @ssalva4. @HNParaplejicos @idiscam @SENC_

“La primera reacción ante un descubrimiento rompedor es la de mofarse”. Alfonso Araque descubrió en 1998 que los astrocitos regulan las sinapsis. Nadie le creyó. Entrevista de M. Galan, alumna máster #Neurociencia @UAM_Madrid @LabAraque @SENC_ @abc_blogs
