You invite somebody to give a talk at @researchmar.bsky.social. You had an amazing conversation during lunch. You start a collaboration. A postdoc @carlarduaso.bsky.social got nice results. You end up in an amazing paper. Congrats @jdejuan-sanz.bsky.social et al.!! www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Wishing you all a great and happy 2026! 🥳

We did our Christmas lunch remembering the good and bad achievements of 2025. Celebrating one's and learning from the others. 2026 will be another exciting year for us. Very happy of the Christmas present I have received from my lab!! Proud PI :)

It was a pleasure to present some of our Lab projects on social cognition in the @neuroalc.bsky.social . I am very happy for the nice discussion at the end of the talk and also for the opportunity to learn from really exciting projects that are being developed in this neuroscience institute.

After a constructive and extensive revision, happy to share our manuscript published in @elife.bsky.social entitled "Dorsal hippocampus mediates light–tone associations in male mice" (doi.org/10.7554/eLif...). Congrats to Julia Pinho, @carlarduaso.bsky.social and @imanzanaressierra.bsky.social.

Heading to another #SEIC2025 meeting in Madrid to celebrate the 25 years of this great, inspiring and constructive meeting on the cannabinoid-related research in Spain. Some of my best scientific memories come from this meeting.

Today, during the first meeting of the psychoneuroimmunology society held in Granada, our PhD student Irene Ferreres will be presenting our latest findings on the impact of adolescent stress on kynurenine metabolism in microglia and astrocytes. 📍 Poster 20 | 🕚 11:00–13:00

🎉 Happy to share the latest work published in @CurrentBiology from the Guillaume Ferreira lab where I collaborated! A big congrats to Guillaume and all people involved 👏 Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

When you start your lab, nobody has taught you how to supervise or overcome multiple difficulties of a PhD. I am happy that today the first PhD from my lab was well defended. Congrats Laura! Many thanks to @carlessaura.bsky.social , Ester Aso and @miriammelis.bsky.social for an inspiring discussion.

Tomorrow, I will be in Zaragoza participating to a new edition of the Research Career Course organized by the @academiajoven.bsky.social . During this course we will discuss about research funding, evaluation, dissemination, ethics, emotional management, among other important topics. .

We are at @eurbehavpharm.bsky.social meeting ⛵️ Tomorrow @imanzanaressierra.bsky.social (Post. #1.7) and @carlarduaso.bsky.social (Post. #1.34) are presenting posters regarding the link between Cannabinoid drugs and Psychosis and Cannabinoid drugs and Alzheimer Disease, respectively.

Together with Giovanni Marsicano, @bolanosjuanp.bsky.social and @imanzanaressierra.bsky.social, we took profit of the #SENC2025 to have an exciting meeting with interesting findings from our @caixaresearch.bsky.social project, in which we are investigating the psychotic effects of cannabis.

Our group is in the #senc2025 meeting in Gran Canaria where we will show two different stories from the lab through the presentation of two posters.

🚨 New paper from our lab published in @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social and performed in the @researchmar.bsky.social led by our PhD student Marc Canela. 📄More info below: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Our group is proud to have contributed to a new paper published in @nature.com led by @marsicano.bsky.social, in which MitoDREADD, a new tool to enhance mitochondrial activity, show promising effects against the cognitive decline in neurodegenerative disorders. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very happy and honored that our ERASE project has been proposed to be funded by the @ageinves.bsky.social . 3 exciting years ahead to further investigate the brain substrates of emotion recognition in normal and pathological aging. #PID2024

The wildfire touching Marseille prevented me to be in the symposium, to share our project linking astrocytes, cannabinoid drugs and Alzheimer disease and to attend to the interesting @gliameeting.bsky.social ! I am sure the symposium conducted by @murphyroyallab.org has been a success!

Together with Ciaran @murphyroyallab.org, from the Université de Montreal, we are co-chairing today the Symposium "Understanding the roles of astrocytes in cognition and behaviour across the lifespan" in the @gliameeting.bsky.social in Marseille.

Recycle your poster, share your research! New #Neuroscience event at @researchmar.bsky.social 🗓️ July 24 ⏰15:15h 📍Marie Curie Room 👩‍🔬 Keynote by Dr. Sara Mederos (@sainsburywellcome.bsky.social) 🔗 Register: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon... 👉 researchmar.net/agenda/968 @bgarcialab.bsky.social

🧠 How does the brain make decisions based on indirect associations between stimuli? 🔬 A new @pnas.org study led by Dr. Busquets @bgarcialab.bsky.social (@researchmar.bsky.social) sheds light on the role of the amygdala and cortical circuits 👉 researchmar.net/news/732/ @hospitaldelmar.bsky.social

Heading to the @ebbsociety.bsky.social meeting in Bordeaux to enjoy 4 days in a fantastic city, meeting colleagues and friends and enjoying a great scientific program. Our lab will contribute showing our different research lines.

Our PhD Jose Antonio González Parra and postdoc Irene Ayuso are attending the European Social Club meeting in Coimbra. Today, during the poster session, we have shown our interesting results on the brain circuits controlling emotion recognition in mice. #socialbehavior #mousebehavior #neuroscience

Did you ever wonder why we often feel ungrounded attraction or aversion by certain places, smells, or foods? Our brain does that by infering value from indirect associations in a process called higher-order conditioning. 🧵Here’s what we found using an specific paradigm in mice:

💼 Becoming a PI – how to get funding 💶 🗣️  @bgarcialab.bsky.social, Mara Dierssen, @sdelcilab.bsky.social & @marcsuarezcalvet.bsky.social  📆 June 3 - ⏰ 15:00 CET  📍#PRBB Marie Curie room ℹ️ Registration: bit.ly/careermonth25

Our paper is out as a reviewed preprint on @elife.bsky.social together with the reviewers' comments . We plan to address most of the constructive comments in the weeks/months. Dorsal hippocampus mediates light-tone sensory preconditioning task in mice doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

New lab group photo with a seagull included! @bgarcialab.bsky.social @researchmar.bsky.social @prbb.org

And today, happy to share the second preprint from the lab: Projecting neurons from lateral entorhinal cortex to basolateral amygdala mediate the encoding of incidental odor-taste associations www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
