Investigating spinal cord circuits, the rest of the CNS is just too overrated.
3rd pre-FENS Motor Symposium "The Dynamics of Motor Control: Circuit Interactions in Health and Disease" on July 5th 2026 at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Barcelona. Registration and abstract submission are open NOW until March 1st motor-control-satellite-2026.umh.es

๐ง ๐๐ญ Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!
We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number๐งต
Out now: Favila, Capece Marsico et al. 2025, Nature Communications: Using longitudinal deep-brain imaging, we report that amygdala interneurons exhibit complex and heterogeneous plasticity during associative learning, at both the single-cell and population level.

The official deadline for abstract submission is December 15th, but we only have a few slots left and might be sold out before the deadline.
Apply quickly ๐ bonnbrain.de to be considered by our Scientific Committee!
Warm congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2026, Professor David Ginty and Professor Patrik Ernfors, for their pioneering work on how the nervous system detects and processes touch and pain.

Unfortunately this is true, BNI is shutting down very suddenly and soon. Weโre still sorting through the fallout, but many incredibly talented postdocs and technicians are taking a huge hit to their careers because of this. If you know of openings, even short term, Iโd be happy to circulate them.
๐จ Last chance to apply for participation for BonnBrain 2026! ๐จ
We have very few slots left (attending with or without presentation) and will select the last participants early next week.
Apply before December 15th to be considered!
