Happening now! Presidential Lecture by Mara Dierssen . Learning about memory engrams in Down syndrome! #T21RS2022


Amazing new generation of scientists here at Long Beach presenting their results at #t21rs2022 !! Clíona Farrell Álvaro Fernández Blanco Maria Tomer Illouz and so many other!!!!!!! A great future for #Downsyndrome Research!!!!! Trisomy 21 Research Society



🚨Exciting pre-print from the lab!👉"Pervasive evolution of tissue-specificity of ancestral genes differentially shaped vertebrates and insects". Deep comparative #transcriptomics across #bilateria by Federica Mantica et al Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG). 👀biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Summary👇



Extremely happy to share the first paper from my PhD work, where I investigated the role of a microexon in DAAM1 in memory formation and learning! 🐭🧠💻🔬🧑🔬 #PhD Now out on biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. With Manuel Irimia and Mara Dierssen Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) @icerca A long 🧵 below:

Great talk by Amar Sahay on feed forward inhibition in CA2. Great combination of molecular + systems neurosci! Serena Dudek’s blonde hair can be seen in foreground. Keeping CA2 weird! LEARNMEM2023


Després de 8 mesos de la publicació del RD que integra als docents de FP amb titulació universitària al cos PS (4/10/2022), Educació de Josep G. Cambray i el Sindicat USTEC•STEs (IAC) ens tenen com la única CA que no l'ha aplicat. diariARA TV3 és ara @Som3Cat #MapaDeLaVergonya #IntegracióJa


The IBRO - International Brain Research Organization meeting started with a succesful student symposium organized by the Early Career Training Program. Congrats for all the speakers/posters representing the neuroscience research all over the world.


💥 🧕👨🏿🎓👨🏽🔬💃👩🏻🔬 After a successful #ECTP Student Symposium with reprensentation of the 5 IBRO regions, we want to thank all ECTP Grantees for being part of this wonderful experience and also the ECTP comittee for making in possible!! Enjoy Spain! 🤩🇪🇸☀️ IBRO - International Brain Research Organization SENC #IBRO2023


Dont miss the ECR session chaired by Alvaro Fernandez at Albeniz room!! IBRO - International Brain Research Organization Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) SENC



Today at #IBRO2023, early career scientists have participated in the event: How to get interactive session with a real life mock interview. We were inspired by the feedback and advice of Juan Lerma. I am happy to have helped organizing this event as member of the ECTP committee.


I'm extremely happy! After a long journey, our paper is out in molecularpsychiatry!❤️🧠 Thank you so much to Gertru Perea and all the amazing neuroscientists involved, Andrea Sánchez Ruiz ,Julio Esparza ,Cristina Sánchez-Puelles 🔬🧠 ,Lucia Arancibia ,JorgeRamírez-Franco, DavideGobbo and Frank Kirchhoff

Don't miss our new work! rdcu.be/drHXz People with Down syndrome are frequently obese, which is attributed to endocrine issues and sedentarism. We show that deficits in brain reward and dopamine are also contributing factors Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) GO-DS21 DOWN ESPAÑA

📚 Learning and Memory Problems in Down syndrome Linked to Alterations in Genome's ‘Dark Matter’ Researchers at #CRG led by Mara Dierssen and Cesar Sierra as first author, reveal that the Snhg11 gene is critical for the function and formation of neurons in the hippocampus.


Happy to contribute to this study that delves into the hippocampal landscape of a Down syndrome mouse model, revealing trisomy's impact on specific cell types. Snhg11 downregulation emerges as a key player, influencing synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis. Congrats Cesar Sierra
