A 4-year PhD position in my lab at the @neuroalc.bsky.social its now available! @glb-lab.bsky.social

Christmas Lunch day! So proud of this team. For a new year full of great discoveries! @glb-lab.bsky.social

🚀 New from the lab! How do sensory cortices "know" whether they’ll become visual or somatosensory? 🧠 We uncover early modality-identity genes in cortex, some set before thalamic innervation via cell-adhesion codes, others refined by thalamic activity. @glb-lab.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social

Sensory modality-specific wiring of thalamocortical circuits — a Review by Teresa Guillamón-Vivancos, Mar Aníbal-Martínez, Lorenzo Puche-Aroca, Francisco J. Martini & Guillermina López-Bendito @guillelbendito.bsky.social @glb-lab.bsky.social #neuroscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨New Review! We explore how thalamocortical circuits wire up by sensory modality — from genes to spontaneous activity and plasticity. @NatureReviewsNeuroscience @glb-lab.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social 🔗https://doi.org/10.1038/s41583-025-00945-y

📢 We're hiring a PhD student! Join the @LopezBenditoLab (IN-UMH/CSIC) to explore how spontaneous neural activity and genetic programs shape sensory cortical development. 🧠Funded by @AgEInves.📍Alicante, Spain. @glb-lab.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social 🌐 lopezbenditolab.com

Excited to share our new preprint on #thalamus development! 🧠 We reveal how sensory and non-sensory circuits are specified in embryogenesis #mutiomics, #spatialtranscriptomics, #lineagetracing. @neuroalc.bsky.social @glb-lab.bsky.social @jplopez-atalaya.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Super proud of you Mar m. Beautiful thesis defense today! The best of luck for the future. We will miss you! @glb-lab.bsky.social

@guillelbendito.bsky.social espectacular la charla de hoy en el @incyl.bsky.social !! Q suertudos hemos sido

Muchísimas Felicidades al Prof Juan Lerma por su ingreso en la Real Academia de Ciencia Exactas, Fisicas y Naturales de España! @raciencias.bsky.social Enormemente merecido! @neuroalc.bsky.social @jlerma1.bsky.social

Comenzamos! Gracias al AYUNTAMIENTO de MUTXAMEL por este reconocimiento!

Super proud of this massive work led by Mar Anibal from the lab. Early rescaling of barrel maps is possible and thanks to a transcriptional switch in thalamic neurons! Check it out! @neuroalc.bsky.social

🔥A new study led by @guillelbendito.bsky.social at @neuroalc.bsky.social is now published on @naturecomms.bsky.social 🙌 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...
