Professor Bryan Strange, coordinator of the Neurotec Community and director of the Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory, participates in the SomosUPM podcast and reviews some of his research projects such as ‘RememberEx’, from the European Research Council (ERC) and the ‘Proyecto Vallecas’, developed in collaboration with the Fundación Reina Sofía and the Carlos III Health Institute, a key project to detect risk factors in Alzheimer’s, dementia or Parkinson’s in people without symptoms.

On 24 April, a conference will be held in the Auditorium of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos to disseminate the advances in neurotechnology and neuroscience of the MINA-CM consortium, led by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The keynote speaker is Rafael Yuste, Professor of Biological Sciences and Neuroscience at Columbia University, who is leading the launch of the new Spanish Neurotechnology Centre (Spain Neurotech).

The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid has launched in the academic year 2024-2025 an innovative Master’s programme in neurotechnology, unique at international level, with the aim of training the next generation of neurotechnologists in the latest scientific advances.

On November 28-29, the Spanish Node of EBRAINS hosted an interdisciplinary meeting in Madrid, focusing on human brain circuits related to motor function, dysfunction, and rehabilitation. The event brought together national and international experts with the goal of integrating computational tools with experimental data and fostering productive discussions about motor circuits in health and disease.

Interview with Esperanza Jubera, Head of Head of the Memory Research Unit at Bitbrain, a Spanish company member of EBRAINS

Interview with Manuela Costa, senior postdoc researcher in the Laboratory for Clinical Neuroscience (CTB-UPM) and recent awardee of the Ramón y Cajal fellowship.

EBRAINS aims to translate scientific findings into medical and industrial innovations for the benefit of patients and society in general.

The meeting will examine human brain circuits related to motor function, dysfunction and rehabilitation, integrating computational tools with experimental data. 28-29 november 2024

The Spanish EBRAINS Node meeting on human memory circuits was held in a truly inspiring venue – the lecture theatre where Santiago Ramon y Cajal imparted his knowledge of histology and histopathology at Madrid’s former Medical Faculty. It is fair to say that the scientific level of all the oral presentations and subsequent discussion would have met with the approval of the father of modern neuroscience.
