🔬👁️ #ECCN2025 Keynote Speaker Alert! How do neurons establish precise visual connections? Prof. Chédotal (Alain Chédotal) from Institut de la Vision explores the molecular cues guiding axon pathfinding in the visual system. Secure your spot—register today! 🧠✨ #Neuroscience


A fantastic piece in Quanta Magazine tracing the long-standing debate on vertebrate intelligence. Grateful our work could help illuminate this evolutionary story. Thoughtful, deep, and beautifully written by Yasemin Saplakoglu, THANKS! 🔗 quantamagazine.org/intelligence-e…

🔬🧬 #ECCN2025 Keynote Speaker Alert! How do new genes shape vertebrate organs—like the brain? Prof. henrik Kaessmann (@KaessmannLab Uni Heidelberg) reveals the genomic innovations behind complexity and diversity. ⏳ Just a few days left to register—don’t miss out!


Interesting weekend read: A series of studies published earlier this year suggests that birds & mammals did not inherit the neural pathways that generate intelligence from a common ancestor, but rather evolved them independently. quantamagazine.org/intelligence-e… ✍️ Yasemin Saplakoglu

How nature makes a complex brain, and why humans may not be so special after all. 🔊Listen to the recent NPR podcast by NPR's Short Wave about our recent publications. My first 📻podcast ever😮!! THANKS Rachel Carlson Regina G. Barber, PhD Rebecca Ramirez ! npr.org/2025/04/16/124…



I love when science brings your friends closer. Thanks Laura Fenlon PhD and Rodrigo Suárez, PhD for the visit, fantastic seminar and insightful "Antipodes Labmeeting"! See you soon!


Last week the BDE-lab enjoyed the fantastic #ECCN25 conference in Alicante. It is so refreshing to see how comparative neurobiology has refurbished its tools, questions and concepts! And the number of species under research keeps growing!! Sara Jiménez Tatiana Raquel Rayo
