Excited to share our recent study on human-specific features of the cerebellum and the unexpected, novel role of zona pellucida protein 2 (ZP2) in synapse development. Grateful to the Sestan lab and all our collaborators for their outstanding contributions.

Human-specific features of the cerebellum and ZP2-regulated synapse development
Understanding the unique features of the human brain compared to non-human primates has long intrigued humankind. The cerebellum refines motor coordination and cognitive functions, contributing to the...

Researchers from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and Yale University have demonstrated how the action of certain
#genes
on precursor cells of
#brain
formation can cause alterations linked to cortical malformations but also to the origin of neuropsychiatric diseases

Excited to share our latest work, spearheaded by my brilliant student Xoel Mato and co-led by Nicola Micali. After years of sweat, intense weekly meetings, and meticulous discussion of every panel, we learned a lot from each other. Grateful for the journey!

Last week we attended the
#ECCN2025
meeting in Alacant. It was an impressive succession of mind-blowing talks—exhilarating and exhausting. You couldn’t let your guard down for a second! Here are Paula Mayo and Josema Ruiz presenting their posters.

🦠Although infection by the

#MultipleSclerosis
, only 0.3% of those infected develop it. A new European project with the participation of 3 PRBB centres aims to understand why and the underlying mechanism. More 👇
