Thrilled to share our new paper published today in @ScienceMagazine! Huge congrats to @T_Guillamon and all the coauthors for the great work 👏 @GuilleLBendito @Mar_AnibalM @lpuche_1 @JAMoreno_Bravo @NeuroAlc 🧵1/3 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🧠 @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. #Neurociencia

Thanks @GoCasteloBranco and Ana Falcao for leading this first edition of the FENS-Hertie Winter School at Alicante. @NeuroAlc @FENSorg

Lectures by leading international scientists, hands-on sessions, computational training, and lively discussions defined an inspiring and highly interactive week at the #FENSHertie Winter School in Alicante. Advancing #NeuroOmics, collaboration, and global neuroscience training 👏

🧠🌍 Alicante hosted the @FENSorg-Hertie Winter School on single-cell and spatial omics in brain research, bringing together PhD students and postdocs from around the world for a week of advanced training. Organised in collaboration with @NeuroAlc 👇 in.umh-csic.es/en/alicante-re…

#NeuroJobs The @GLB_Lab at the @NeuroAlc (@UniversidadMH-@CSIC), a leading center for developmental and systems neuroscience, is seeking a highly motivated #PhD student to join their team 🗓️Deadline applications: 15th December 2025 ℹ️🔗senc.es/phd-position-i… @JovInvest_SENC

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

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! 👏👏

Tonight at 5pm CET, our postdoc @emily_wilson9 will be participating at the panel of the SFN-FENS webinar for postgraduate journeys between US and Europe 🙌🏼 Find more information below: @NeuroAlc @SfNtweets @FENSorg

This morning at #AXON2025 in Rotterdam, our PI @GuilleLBendito presented a talk on 🧠 How spontaneous activity meets genetic programs in the development of sensory circuits. Grateful for the stimulating discussion and feedback! @NeuroAlc

Don't miss our PhD student @lpuche_1 at #AXON2025 in Rotterdam! 🧠 📍 Poster session II — Thursday Sept 18, 13:30 🔖 Poster #18 Spatiotemporal multi-omic profiling of the developing thalamus identifies distinct modality-specific lineages @NeuroAlc @GuilleLBendito

📢 We're hiring a PhD student! Join the @GLB_Lab (IN-UMH/CSIC; @NeuroAlc) to explore how spontaneous neural activity and genetic programs shape sensory cortical development. Funded by @AgEInves. lopezbenditolab.com
