🧠 After a brain injury, cells communicate in ways that can either stimulate tissue repair or cause long-term diseases. 🤔 What determines this? With #CaixaResearch support, Christa Rhiner will try to understand this process promoting regeneration. 🔗 bit.ly/49MBRF5

Highly inspiring lecture of Grégoire Courtine & Jocelyne Bloch NeuroRestore.swiss yesterday at IMM Lisbon - including amazing lessons on #neuralRepair, #brainplasticity AND the value of animal models to find underlying mechanisms! Merci beaucoup !!

📣We’ve got good news! The application deadline for the PhD programmes - #Neuroscience or #Cancer - at the 📍@champalimaudf has been extended to 7 February 🧠 🧬 👉More info & application form: fchampalimaud.org/champalimaud-r…

🤩glia rules! Thank you João F Oliveira for a great talk here at Champalimaud - and for sparking the interest for the dynamic roles of astrocytes in circuits!

It has been a pleasure to give a seminar at the national gathering of the Portuguese Biology students. Great organisation - and they surprised me with this personalised book mark 🤩!

🧠Janelia scientists have reached another milestone in connectomics: A wiring diagram of the fruit fly visual system. With 50K+ neurons, the optic lobe connectome provides the fullest picture yet of one of the most important parts of the nervous system. janelia.org/news/seeing-is…

It has been an amazing 2 days i3S-Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde with great science, art and #Drosophila power.

Did you ever go and read the sequence of your favourite gene in the human genome library? I had a glance today at the cool science/art exhibition curated by I3s in Porto🔎🧐!

From the obituary of Larry Young who studied the chemistry of love. One day, in biochemistry class, he dissected a fruit fly. "And that’s when he fell in love with genetics and just wanted to figure out the genetic basis of behavior, that’s what drove him the rest of his life.”

Can we observe how the injured leg of an animal is regenerated? We have figured out how to do this in the crustacean Parhyale. Over the course of a week, we can record the entire process of regeneration at cell-by-cell resolution. vimeo.com/802413847
