Out now: Favila, Capece Marsico et al. 2025, Nature Communications: Using longitudinal deep-brain imaging, we report that amygdala interneurons exhibit complex and heterogeneous plasticity during associative learning, at both the single-cell and population level. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Heterogeneous plasticity of amygdala interneurons in associative learning and extinction - Nature Communications

In this study, the authors uncover how diverse inhibitory interneurons in the amygdala flexibly contribute to fear and safety learning, revealing a key role for inhibition in emotional memory and adap...

I had an amazing time delivering a keynote lecture on "The evolutionary origins of neurons" to start the #NWG2025 @neurowissg.bsky.social with the Schram Foundation Symposium. Thankful for the invitation and excellent organization. #choanoflagellates #ctenophores #GermanNeuroscienceSociety

Amazing kickstart of the #NWG2025 @neurowissg.bsky.social with the Schram Foundation Symposium and great talk of @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social. Thrilling evolutionary perspective on development of neurons, nervous system, and brains!
