Our animation shows how brain cells form new connections, a process called synaptogenesis. As neurons grow, their long extensions (axons) reach out and connect with tiny contact points on neighboring neurons, helping build the brain’s communication network 🧠🎇

[Patricio Solis Urra @Patricio__Solis]

Very happy and proud to share our latest work, recently published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association! 🧠💪
Can strength training help maintain cognitive function in older adults? 🧵👇

✨ Featured articles from our newsletter

🫀 Toval et al. (Eur Heart J, 2025): Prescribing exercise - especially through in-person programs - improves health-related quality of life, and reduces anxiety and depression in individuals with coronary artery disease; but there’s room to optimize home-based interventions for better brain-related benefits.

🚺 Marçal et al. (CJC Open, 2025): Only 34% of participants in Canadian exercise trials are women - a number unchanged over the past decade. It’s time to close the gender gap in research and prioritize equitable representation in cardiovascular care.

How does exercise and fitness promote healthy brain aging?
An outstanding, comprehensive review @TheLancet
reduced neuroinflammmation, preserves blood-brain-barrier, neurogenesis, role of exerkines, and much more

Evolutionary convergence of sensory circuits in the pallium of amniotes 🐣🦎🐀, published in @ScienceMagazine! A great learning experience in brain evolution 🧠. Huge thanks and congrats to @PhyloBrain and @RuedaEneritz for leading this outstanding work!

[Fernando García-Moreno @PhyloBrain]

Conducted by @RuedaEneritz, we have seen that pallial neurons are generated in different regions and stages of the embryonic brain🐣🦎🐀: pallial neurons and circuits have evolved separately. Evolutionary CONVERGENCE of neurons and circuits!

BRAIN EVODEVO ALERT!
So thrilled to share our newest articles about brain evolution, published by @ScienceMagazine!
Briefly, we have found that pallial circuits are formed by different developmental programs and comprise different neurons. Not all brains are the same!

Morning 🌞 or evening 🌛 training 🏃‍♂️, does it make a difference?

🔬 INVESTIGACIÓN | Un estudio de la UMU evalúa cómo la ⏰ hora del ejercicio podría influir en la pérdida de peso. Investigadores del grupo de Neurobiología de la Actividad Física analizaron cómo el 🏋️ ejercicio en distintos momentos del día afecta la acumulación de grasa y la respuesta hormonal en roedores.
