🧠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

🪼 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

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

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

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

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 🌳🌳

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

Knowledge is most valuable when it is shared! Research mobility is also about bringing knowledge back and sharing it with others.Our Portugal team organized a meeting where participants presented the techniques,experiences & insights they gained during their research stays abroad

#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

Summer is a great time to strengthen scientific collaborations and exchange ideas! ☀️The #BrainingProject team from @ULisboa_ @SaraXapelli @SandraHVaz1 & Ines Erkizia-Santamariathe visited @hospitaldelmar in Barcelona 🇵🇹🇪🇸 #CoFundedByEU

The symposium gathered researchers from different institutions to present their work,exchange ideas & discuss the latest developments in brain research. A great opportunity to highlight the importance of scientific dialogue and international cooperation in advancing neuroscience
