A milestone for the new Cajal!Tetraneuron, a spin-off from Frade lab @institutocajal.bsky.social , secures 5M€ to advance gene therapy for Alzheimer’s into clinical trials. A powerful example of how fundamental science translates into innovation. #neurodegeneration @csic.es

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP

tfw when some unbiased experiments validate and extend some older findings... given that we acquiesced to the pressure and gave up this work to start the lab's direction over from scratch... I feel justified to be completely petty and say - suck it neurotrophin haters ;)

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.
