El tacto y la vista van unidos en el embrión y se separan tras el nacimiento. ➡️El trabajo, realizado en ratones pero extrapolable a humanos, ha arrojado datos "fascinantes" sobre cómo los sentidos se segregan en los primeros días de vida. efe.com/efe/espana/efe… Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC

🔥 Hot off the press!! Latest from Lopez_Bendito Lab Guille Lopez-Bendito Teresa Guillamon-Vivancos in Science Magazine ➡️ Input-dependent segregation of visual and somatosensory circuits in the mouse superior colliculus

Congrats to Mar Aníbal-Martínez a senior PhD student in my lab for her beautiful talk at CSHL Meetings in circuit development with Yimin Zou and co-organizers! Well done Mar! Lopez_Bendito Lab Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC

The AXON meeting is returning! This time in beautiful Altea, Alicante on the 27-29 September with an amazing list of the very experts on development, plasticity and regeneration of neural circuits! Save the date! More details at axon2023.com #axon2023 Guille Lopez-Bendito

Congrats to our colleague Mar Aníbal-Martínez for her wonderful talk today at #SencDay in Granada! 👏👏

Getting really excited! The next AXON meeting is approaching very fast! Still time for registering here axon2023.com/index.php/regi… Looking forward seeing you all in Alicante! Lopez_Bendito Lab Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC

Last minute programme change! To close session 7, our colleague Mar Aníbal-Martínez will talk about her work today at 1:00pm. Don’t miss it! #AXON2023 Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC SENC

Mar Aníbal-Martínez from the lab closing up the #AXON2023 meeting in Alicante! You are great! Well done! Lopez_Bendito Lab Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC

We mix our different expertises to do great science. Now is time to blend our cultures and traditions to celebrate! From the GLB lab, Happy Holidays to all!! Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC 🎅🇺🇸👑🇪🇸🐉🇨🇳⛵️🇬🇷🧙‍♀️🇮🇹🍫🇧🇪🎄🇦🇷

Xmas 🎄celebration in the Lopez_Bendito Lab! So proud of this team. A day full of laughs and good wishes!

Excited to share our preprint from Mar Aníbal-Martínez in the lab on how barrel size and map resolution can be developmentally adjusted through fine-tuning of thalamic spont activity and molecular signatures! ⁦Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC⁩ ⁦Lopez_Bendito Lab⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢 Out now in bioRxiv! Our latest work on how functional resolution of barrel maps can be adjusted independently of whisker type, led by our fantastic PhD student Mar Aníbal-Martínez 👏 Guille Lopez-Bendito Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC CSIC UMH biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Tomorrow June 27 from 9:30 to 13:00 you can check out Mar Aníbal-Martínez poster regarding spatial resolution of cortical barrel maps #FENS2024 #neuroscience Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC SENC

🧠Un mecanismo de plasticidad cerebral permite reorganizar el sentido del tacto durante el desarrollo Un estudio liderado por el Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC demuestra que el cerebro reorganiza sus mapas sensoriales en ausencia de estímulos táctiles ➡️tiny.cc/7lbc001

🚀New paper out! Can somatosensory maps be reshaped before birth? We reveal a critical embryonic window where prenatal mystacial whiskers deprivation reorganizes facial maps, expanding upper lip representation, refining map resolution & enhancing function. nature.com/articles/s4146…

🔥A new study led by Lopez_Bendito Lab at Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC is now published on Nature Communications 🙌 Researchers have discovered a brain plasticity mechanism that allows the reorganization of the sense of touch during development More info 👇 in.umh-csic.es/en/articulos/a…

These findings help us understand how brains adapt to missing body parts from birth—insights that could improve future rehabilitation strategies! Guille Lopez-Bendito & Mar Aníbal-Martínez resume the study in this video #BrainPlasticity 👇
