News
I'm invited to give a talk in the Online Workshop of Crossmodal Learning on December 5, 2024.
One PhD or postdoc position is available to understand how the higher-order thalamic nuclei influence the cortex combining a novel micro-optical probe with electrophysiology, optogenetics, and calcium imaging. If interested, please email me.
Thankfully, I have been awarded ENW-M1 grant (€371K) from Dutch Research Council. A big thanks to 3 anonymous reviewers. Press Release
Our new paper "Dysfunctions of cellular context-sensitivity in neurodevelopmental learning disabilities" has been published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.
I'm invited to give a talk and organize one of 6 symposiums in the conference "Thalamocortical networks", May 16-17, San Sebastián, the Basque Country. The conference will take place at The Miramar Palace next to the beautiful beach. See you there!
