The Spanish Research Agency published last Friday the provisional resolution for the R+D+i Projects 2020 call «Retos Investigación» and «Generación de Conocimiento». 13 projects by our researchers will be funded, receiving a total of 2 million euros. Congrats!
Last weekend, researchers from the Institute participated in the Barcelona Science Festival, organized by the City Council, which this year was part of the Science City Biennial. In a brief TED-Talk format, Dr. Roser Nadal talked about conduct disorders and Judith Sanchez explained what perineural networks are.
Students of the PhD in Neuroscience Official Progam can now apply for two different grants:
An investigation led by the INc-UAB, carried out from the study of a drug that modifies the memory of fear, shows for the first time that the neural processes and behaviours related to the formation of memory can be opposite between male and female mice. The study, published in Nature Communications, has been developed in collaboration with other INc-UAB research groups and the IMIM. Read the article
An international team of researchers with the participation of Dr. Lydia Giménez-Llort evaluated the protective effects of Calcium dobesilate (CaD), a drug with antioxidant properties, for the treatment of cognitive disorders in physiological ageing. Results demonstrated in an animal model that weight loss, anxiety-like and cognitive impairments were reversed by the administration of the drug, while also inhibiting the oxidative stress in their brains. The study has been published in Antioxidants.
