Neurogenesis & Neural Plasticity Lab

Understanding how the brain is built, maintained, and reshaped across the lifespan.

The NeuroPlaNe Lab is based in the Department of Cell Biology, Functional Biology and Physical Anthropology at the Universitat de València. We investigate how the brain is built, maintained, and remodeled across the lifespan –from embryonic development through postnatal and adult life– combining cellular and developmental neuroscience with comparative approaches across species.

Our work focuses on how neural stem cells generate neurons, how some neuronal populations remain immature for extended periods before integrating into circuits, and how alterations in these processes contribute to neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders, bridging basic and translational neuroscience.
