Another conference, another chance to connect with the neuroscience community! ✨The #BrainingProject was pleased to be involved in the XIV Simposi de Neurobiologia – Noves perspectives en la investigació del cervell, held in Barcelona this June 🇪🇸 #BrainingProject #CoFundedByEU

Can nature change your brain? 🧠Your brain wasn't designed to spend all day surrounded by concrete and screens.Spending time in green spaces has been linked to lower stress,better attention,and improved emotional regulation #BrainingProject #CoFundedByEU AI-generated illustration

Learning beyond borders! 🌎🧠 As part of the #BrainingProject, one of our students Joana Domingues from Portugal @ulis 🇵🇹 recently completed a research visit at the @hospitaldelmar (IMIM) in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸#CoFundedByEU

🧠Three years of #BrainingProject! 🥳 Time for a little recap! Over the past 3 years, our scientific Thursdays have brought students, young researchers and experts together for 23 fascinating seminars on research methods in neuroscience #CoFundedByEU (1/3)

Did you know that curiosity engages brain systems involved in both reward processing and memory? When we anticipate an answer we want to know, activity increases in reward-related regions,including the dopaminergic midbrain (1/2) #BrainingProject #CoFundedByEU AI-gen illustration

🇵🇹 Our portuguese team took part in the European Researchers’ Night,an evening to share interest in neuroscience, exchange ideas and connect with people curious about how the brain works 🧠 Thanks to everyone who joined us! #BrainingProject #CoFundedByEU #EuropeanResearchersNight

By sharing what they learned with colleagues, they helped extend the impact of their mobility and strengthen collaboration within the Braining Project. #BrainingProject #CoFundedByUE

Brain imaging studies even show that a walk in nature can reduce activity in the amygdala—the brain region involved in processing stress and potential threats. So if you're looking for a simple way to recharge this summer, your brain might appreciate a walk among the trees 🌳🌳

Working alongside international researchers, exploring new techniques, and experiencing a different research environment are invaluable steps in every young scientist's journey #CoFundedByEU #BrainingProject

Our research journey continues! 🌍 As part of the #BrainingProject, our student Piotr Kluska from @JagiellonskiUni recently continued his research journey with a visit to @usal in Spain.During his stay, Piotr was hosted and supported by @JorgeVaGL research group #CoFundedByEU

🧠Looking for some inspiration before the new academic year begins? maybe planning your next experiment and need a fresh perspective?All protocols and recordings from our seminars are now available on the #BrainingProject website: brainingproject.com/ AI-generated illustration

Under the guidance of Dr. Sabine Lévi and her team, Santiago had the opportunity to gain research experiences, and explore new approaches in an international scientific environment. Research mobility is all about building connections across institutions and borders #CoFundedByEU

🪼 Did you know that one of the most important tools in modern bioimaging originated from a jellyfish? GFP (green fluorescent protein), first discovered in Aequorea victoria, made it possible to visualize specific cells and proteins. #BrainingProject #CoFundedByEU AI-illustration

#BrainingProject at FENS Forum 2026 Barcelona 🇪🇸 Our partners from @ESPCI_Paris showcased their research.Under the leadership of Dr. Sabine Lévi, Zahra Imani presented a poster highlighting the team's expertise in synaptic architecture #CoFundedByEU #FENS2026

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to discuss ongoing reserch regarding mouse behavior & fiber photometry and strengthen collaboration for future joint initiatives. A special thank you to @BGarcialab for the warm hospitality and inspiring scientific discussions
