The IBRO - International Brain Research Organization SENC meeting is over. It has been intense, a lot of learning and future ideas and it has given the possibility to meet new great people. If you come to our posters and you are interested, we are offering a postdoc position: imim.cat/media/upload//…

#IBRO2023

The best moment #IBRO23 thanks to Yulong Li for the amazing and inspiring talk and Busquets-Garcia Lab to support my presence in IBRO - International Brain Research Organization.
Intense days of sharing knowlegment.

Take home message:'Can we do better?' - Yulong Li.

We can always do better if you did not give up!

During this morning Irene Manzanares-Sierra is presenting our work about senescence in AD! Pass by the poster B57 to discuss the data with her. #IBRO2023 IBRO - International Brain Research Organization

Today in the afternoon, i will present at IBRO - International Brain Research Organization the poster (A41) 'Hippocampal involvement in mouse light-tone sensory preconditioning'. If you like learning and memory processes, fear, hippocampus, behavior analysis (DLC, python), or chemogenetics, please visit me.

Tuesday 12th (morning), our postdoc Carla Ramon-Duaso, PhD will present the poster (C10) 'Preclinical efficacy of a newly identified compound in depressive-like phenotypes'. Assessing the behavioral and brain neurotransmitter changes induced by a new compound.

Tuesday 12th (morning), our PhD student Jose will present the poster (A41) 'TRAP2 mice: a tool for understanding brain circuits underlying higher order behavior'. Identification of a specific brain region involved in higher-order conditioning and affective discrimination

Monday 11th (morning), our PhD student Irene Manzanares-Sierra will present the poster (B57) 'Senescence in Alzheimer's disease: a new transgenic mouse model'. The first behavioral and molecular characterizations in a new AD mouse model that aim to characterize senescent processes.

Sunday 10th (morning), our PhD student Laura Vidal Palencia will present the poster (B19) 'Uncovering the role of the endocannabinoid system in APP/PS1 mice: a cell-type specific approach'. A combination between mouse behavior and cell-type specific molecular evaluations.

Sunday 10th (morning), our postdoc Carla Ramon-Duaso, PhD will present the poster (B04) 'Behavioral and molecular impact of cannabinoid treatment in APP/PS1 mice'. A combination between a longitudinal behavioral characterization and metabolomics to explore the impact of cannabinoids in AD

Sunday 10th (morning), our PhD student Marc Canela will present the poster (A30) 'Towards a behavioral protocol for assessing second order conditioning in mice'. A combination between higher-order conditioning and the use of computational tools to analyze specific behaviors.

Our PI will be chair in 3 events:
1) The IBRO Students Symposium during Saturday morning.
2) The Workshop (Novel tools for spatiotemporal modulation of neuronal circuits: anticipating the future) on Sunday at 12h10.
3) NeuroArt event on Wednesday at 12:10.

Sunday 10th (afternoon), our postdoc JuliaPinho will present the poster (A41) 'Hippocampal involvement in mouse light-tone sensory preconditioning'. A combination between higher-order conditioning, advanced behavioral analysis through DeepLabCut and chemogenetic approaches.
