Braining_Erasmus+

🌎 Thrilled to share the fantastic news: our project Collaborative learning and innovative teaching for brain drug screening has received funding from the European Union!  🚀 🌱 What’s the Project About? The Braining project aims to equip educators, scientists and students with the latest knowledge on brain drug screening methods, increasing preclinical studies’ translational potential and complying with the 3Rs principle. Our goal is to establish an international learning environment for students to comprehensively understand the most recent techniques while improving educators’ competencies in innovative teaching. 🌐 EU Partnership: The Braining project is a consortium involving Jagiellonian University, Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, Universidad de Salamanca, and Institut du Fer à Moulin. This partnership signifies a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and a brighter future for our Institutions.  🎉 Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this journey!

🚨 Our next seminar is getting closer and closer! 🚨 Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 24 at 18:00 CET (17:00 Lisbon time) This time, @Dr. Kinga Sałaciak and Dr. Klaudia Lustyk from Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland will dive into the fascinating topic of how touchscreen technology can be used to effectively investigate rodent cognitive processes 🐭 🧠  🔗 Join us and be part of this insightful session! #BrainingProject #BrainResearch #BrainingClub #cofundedbyEU #Neuroscience #InnovationInResearch

Get ready for the next Braining Club seminar! 🧠 We’re excited to be back after the summer break! This Thursday, October 17th, at 6 PM CET (5 PM Lisbon time), Cláudia Valente will present her work on a model of epileptogenesis in rhinal cortex-hippocampus organotypic slice cultures. Don’t miss this opportunity and join us. See you there! #BrainingProject #BrainResearch #BrainingClub #EUcofunded #Neuroscience #InnovationInResearch 

🌍 The excitement carries on in Kraków at the Students' Science Expo 2024! 🇵🇱✨ While our teams in Salamanca and Lisbon share their expertise, Kraków is buzzing with energy as we promote the Braining project. 🧠 Our Kraków team is engaging with students to share information about how Braining is transforming brain research and education. We're focused on raising awareness and generating interest in innovative scientific approaches.💡 Huge thanks to our passionate Kraków team: Klaudia Lustyk,@Kinga Sałaciak for driving the mission forward.

Neuroscience Insight 🧠 Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses from one neuron to another. They play a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, and cognitive functions. Dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate are some key neurotransmitters involved in these processes. Understanding their functions helps in developing treatments for mental health disorders. #BRAINING #cofundedbyEU Jagiellonian University, Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, University of Salamanca (Universidad de Salamanca)

Brain Fact! 🧠 The blood-brain barrier is a protective shield that separates the brain’s blood vessels from the brain tissue. It prevents harmful substances from entering the brain while allowing essential nutrients to pass through. This barrier poses a challenge in drug delivery for neurological diseases, but researchers are developing innovative methods to overcome it. #BRAINING #cofundedbyEU Jagiellonian University, Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, University of Salamanca (Universidad de Salamanca)

Targeted therapy is revolutionizing the treatment of neurological disorders. By focusing on specific molecular targets within the brain, these therapies aim to provide more effective and personalized treatment options for conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. The future of neurology is promising! #BRAINING European Commission, Jagiellonian University, Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, University of Salamanca (Universidad de Salamanca)
