🧠 Alicante hosted the 1st Systems-IN-Action Meeting, bringing together international experts to explore how brain circuits drive behavior, from sensation to action.
A key step forward in systems neuroscience and scientific collaboration.

Thank you Aldo!
We learnt that a triplet isn’t just jazz, it can set the hidden rhythm of a neuronal ensemble!
Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Aldo Genovesio from @uniupo.bsky.social at our #SeminarsIN with his talk: “What do we learn by shifting focus from neurons to neuronal assemblies?”
A fantastic lecture, thank you! 👏👏

Inspiring work. Thank you Jaime!
Israel ha detenido al director de orquesta israelí Ilan Volkov después de condenar las acciones de su país en Gaza durante un concierto en Londres.
“Detengan el genocidio. Lo está destrozando todo. Párenlo ya”.
🔥New study published in PLoS Computational Biology, led by Santiago Canals @canalslab.bsky.social at @neuroalc.bsky.social and @claudiomirasso.bsky.social at @ifisc.uib-csic.es , reveals how brain rhythms flexibly route information.

Happy to join the 2nd NeurotechEU Summer School on Preclinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy, presenting on #MetabolomicNMR in beautiful #Alicante!
🎉 Today we celebrated the 18th IN Progress Report Workshop at @neuroalc.bsky.social!
Leaders from 7 of our 8 scientific programs shared their latest research, alongside posters by our 2nd-year PhD students.
Here's a quick recap 🧵👇

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it:
"These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening."

hey lovelies, I finally got around to publicly sharing my compilation of big tech energy and emissions data. I'll be using it in articles, posts etc but it's yours too, free to use (w/ attribution is nice)

Methodological highlight:
We developed a novel spatial task that dissociates encoding vs. retrieval within-subjects using a high-dimensional behavioral readout.
Standard memory tests might have missed this.
Why does this matter?
Memory flexibility is key in psychiatric disorders characterized by cognitive rigidity.
Our study provides a mechanistic foundation for using NAc-DBS to improve cognitive flexibility.
fMRI revealed that NAc-DBS activates a broad memory-related brain network: septum, entorhinal & insular cortices—with some degree of adaptation but not desensitization over time.
We propose it mimics a dopaminergic “novelty” signal, reinforcing the encoding of new information.
Using high-resolution behavioral analysis & fMRI in rats, we dissected memory into short-term, long-term, encoding, and retrieval.
📌 Key finding: NAc-DBS enhances the encoding of new long-term memories—not short-term memory or recall.
Why NAc-DBS?
NAc-DBS is already used to treat psychiatric conditions like OCD and depression. But it could also boost memory. We designed a new spatial navigation task to find out.
New Study Out Now!
We investigated how deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) affects memory. www.nature.com/npp/
Title: NAc-DBS selectively enhances memory updating without effect on retrieval
