🧠 How does your brain know when one memory ends and another begins?

Researchers from UB, UBneuro & IDIBELL found that ripple brain waves mark these boundaries — like punctuation in your mental narrative.

🧠 Final scientific session at the tribute to Ernest Arenas!

Josep M. Canals @ub.edu presents:
"Developing complex human models to understand neurodegenerative diseases."

An inspiring journey through collaborative science.
June 3, 2025 at 1:25 PM
We continue celebrating Ernest Arenas’ legacy with Anders Björklund @lunduniversity-med.bsky.social whose path crossed Ernest’s in the early days of cell therapy for Parkinson’s.

A journey from shared roots to today’s breakthroughs 🧠

Emilia Sif Asgrimsdottir @ki.se a recent PhD Student mentored by Ernest, shared with us the latest work of their group

Unraveling the roles of endogenous radial glia subtypes in midbrain dopaminergic neuron development
June 3, 2025 at 10:58 AM
Next, Elena Cattaneo (University of Milano) shared with us an unpublished story and gave a moving presentation on stem cells, genomics, and the relentless pursuit of treatments for Huntington’s Disease—reflecting Ernest’s dedication to advancing science for real-world impact
June 3, 2025 at 10:12 AM
Coffee in hand, the room grew quiet as Isabel Fariñas @uv.es ‬ shared when she first met Ernest — and how their paths crossed in the pursuit of neuroprotection and neurorestoration.

A story of hope, healing, and the promise of regenerative medicine. 🌱
