This gathering was a great opportunity to summarize the #BrainingProject progress, share experiences and exchange insights gained throughout it. From productive discussions to planning the next steps,we focused on learning from each other and moving forward together #CofundedByEU

The #BrainingProject partners @KarolinaPytka and Dr. @ Klaudia Lustyk (@JagiellonskiUni), @SaraXapelli and M. José Diógenes (@ULisboa_), @SabineLeviCnrs (@ESPCI_Paris) and @BGarcialab (@hospitaldelmar) came together in Kraków for an inspiring meeting focused on collaborations

Sharing ideas at the #Neuronus Neuroscience Forum 🧠✨Braining team (Prof. @KarolinaPytka, Klaudia Lustyk, @SaraXapelli, M. José Diógenes, @SabineLeviCnrs) was right at the heart of it, with a symposium led by @BGarcialab, one of the partners of #Brainingproject #cofundedbyEU

🧠Brain oscillations coordinate neural communication by regulating excitability and timing across neuronal populations. Distinct frequency bands support complementary computational processes, from sensory gating to large-scale integration #BrainingTeam #CofundedByEU

Hippocampus is a key region responsible for memory. Damage from conditions like Alzheimer’s disease can lead to serious memory impairments.Interestingly, hippocampus is a🧠 area where neurogenesis (formation of new neurons) continues throughout life #BrainingProject #cofundedbyEU

Across the ocean to USA 🧠The @ULisboa team reached #NewYork for ISN-ASN 2025,connecting with neuroscientists from all over the🌏From poster sessions to lively discussions, the #Brainingproject approach was shared,sparking collaborations and new ideas across borders #CofundedByEU

This round: Paris! 🇫🇷 The @JagiellonskiUni team part of the @ncure_lab joined @espci Paris for the next step of the exchange. This time on the learner’s side, exploring fresh techniques and lab routines 🧠🧪🔬 #BrainingProject #CofundedByEU #ncurelab

📣 Applications are open for the ALBA-CHS Travel Awards to the FENS Forum 2026! Supported by the Chica & Heinz Schaller Foundation (CHS), these #grants enable early-career brain science researchers from #underrepresented backgrounds to attend #FENS2026 in Barcelona 🧠🇪🇸 ✈️ Tiered grants for EU and non-EU-based candidates ✅ Final-year PhD/MD or ≤10 years post-PhD/MD ℹ️ Full eligibility & application: loom.ly/7FOgCJc 📆 Deadline: 21 Oct 2025 @FENSorg @IBROorg @SfNtweets

Young researchers from @espci (Paris) arrived in @ULisboa for a short-term visit-getting a deep dive into local lab work, techniques🧪From protocol walkthroughs to coffee-break insights, the Lisbon team shared their know-how with open arms #BrainingProject #CofundedByEU

The #Braining team had the opportunity to present and promote key outcomes of the project, showcasing both experimental findings and achievements of the international collaboration #BrainingProject

Our team has collaborated on a new study led by Susana Solá that shows how neural stem cells respond to systemic signals and how depression can impair their regenerative function. Importantly, physical exercise helps restore key metabolic proteins in the brain.

Next stop: Barcelona! 🇵🇹➜🇪🇸 The @ULisboa team #BrainingProject keeps moving. Now to @BGarcialab @hospitaldelmar for more lab training.Every lab teaches you something unique 🔬 Thank you or opening your doors (and benches!) Stay tuned,more science travel coming soon #CofundedByEU

From Lisbon to Paris, science on the move! Young researchers from Lisbon joined ESPCI for hands-on learning and lab experience in the #BrainingClub project. Exploring new methodologies, gaining insight into brain research in different lab environments 🧠💡#CofundedByEU

🚨 New paper out! Chronic CBDV improves motor coordination & cognition in female Rett mice, alters hippocampal neurogenesis, and modulates CB1R/GPR55 in the dentate gyrus. 🧠 A promising cannabinoid-based strategy. 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.lfs.… #CBDV #RettSyndrome #Neuroscience

Congratulations to our newly elected Board members: 🎉 Sandhya Koushika, Jatin Nagpal, and Ibukun Akinrinade 🎉 Chair-Elect: Bita Moghaddam Thank you to everyone who joined the ALBA General Assembly 2025! 💙 We’re grateful for your energy and insights. Onward in our mission for equity and inclusion in neuroscience! Thanks to all of our partners for their tremendous support! @FENSorg @SfNtweets @IBROorg @WorldWomenNeuro @ecnptweets @BrainPrize @ELSneuroscience @EBBS_Science @BritishNeuro @BlackInNeuro @FensKavliNet @Wysscenter @EJNeuroscience @neuroFALAN @SONAorg @MnSociety

🧠After working with teens, the Lisbon #BrainingProject team brought brain science to even younger minds! Through play, stories, colors 🎨, and senses 👁️👃little explorers discovered the basics of how the brain works in a way that’s fun, joyful, and age-appropriate #CofundedByEU

This spring, the Lisbon #BrainingProject team 🇵🇹brought neuroscience into classrooms for teenagers! Through interactive sessions,lively questions,and lots of curiosity,students explored how 🧠 works and why mental health matters. Science connecting to everyday lives #CofundedByEU

🚀 Mark your calendars. You don't want to miss the next #BrainingClub seminar 📅 5 June 2025 ⏰ 18h CET/17h Lisbon time We’re thrilled to welcome Prof. Marcin Kołaczkowski to enlighten us with “Why all these brilliant molecules don't become drugs?” #cofundedbyEU

So proud to see my first PhD student @ruisilrodrigues presenting his brilliant Postdoc research today @SPNeurociencias 2025!
