Happening now en #FENS2026 La #SENC vuelve a estar representada en el simposio “Astrocyte integration in brain circuit functions”, con la participación de Gertrudis Perea y @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social (@cncajal-csic.bsky.social)👏 📍Hall A #FENSForum2026 #Neuroscience
Navarrete Lab
@navarrete-llinas.bsky.social
Neuroscience lab at @institutocajal.bsky.social focused on synaptic plasticity and astrocyte-neuron interactions.
Our @natureportfolio.nature.com paper is featured in Editors’ Highlights “From brain to behaviour”‼️🆙 Thanks @MarsicanoLab @khakhlab @GrandesLab nature.com/collections/mj… @institutocajal.bsky.social @csicdivulga.bsky.social

🎉 Great news! Our paper is now published in @naturecomm We identify a specific astrocyte ensemble that mediates THC-induced cognitive impairments during adolescence Huge thanks to our collaborators @marsicanolab @khakhlab @grandeslab 🔗 rdcu.be/eY0Or @jsromero.bsky.social @crismonteagudo.bsky.social
Getting a head start into the new year with the latest from the @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social lab out now in @natrevneuro.nature.com! Engrams are not composed solely of neurons: astrocytes also form coordinated ensembles that drive memory encoding and recall. 🧪 🧠 👇🏼

Hoy estamos en el Senado hablando de ciencia, concretamente de salud cerebral, un tema clave para el bienestar de la sociedad. Es fundamental impulsar la investigación y la divulgación en este campo. #SaludCerebral @Consejo español del cerebro @Sociedad española de neurociencia 🧠
🚨New preprint alert!🚨 Excited to share our latest research led by @crismonteagudo.bsky.social on how accumbal #astrocyte ensembles modulate #THC impairments. Huge thanks to our collaborators: Nagore Puente, Pedro Grandes, Giovanni Marsicano, and Ana Covelo.🧪🐁🧠✨ www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...
Astrocytic Ensemble at vHip-NAc synapses Modulates Cognitive Impairments Induced by Chronic THC Exposure
Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug, particularly during adolescence, and its consumption disrupts glutamate homeostasis and synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). While astrocy...

The overlooked astrocyte: Star-shaped brain cells may form specialized networks for reward learning
Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the human brain. As a result, the unique functions of other brain cell types are l...

Kicking off our Bluesky profile celebrating our newest publication in @natureneuro.bsky.social! Using our new tool AstroLight we demonstrate that a specific group of #astrocytes —an astrocyte ensemble— in the nucleus accumbens regulates cue-motivated behavior. Check it out!✨https://rdcu.be/d8qJi
