🌳 Can we study naturalistic behavior in the lab?
A study in Cell Reports (S2211-1247(23)01682-0) introduces a dynamic, interactive arena that enables the study of complex behaviors—such as predator–prey interactions—under controlled conditions.

🚨 We are pleased to announce that Simone Battaglia (eCampus University, Como) will join the 1st SINS Young Meeting — Connecting Young Brains to Advance Neuroscience (Naples, June 22–23, 2026) as a Plenary Lecture Speaker.

Simone Battaglia is an Associate Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience at eCampus University (Department of Theoretical and Applied Sciences) and a Research Fellow at the University of Turin. He also serves as Associate Editor of the journal Psychophysiology. His scientific contributions have been recognized internationally, earning him a place in the World’s Top 2% Scientists ranking compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier (2023–2025).

🧠 His research explores the functional interplay between brain networks underlying emotional learning, action control, behavioral inhibition, brain plasticity, visual perception, and higher cognitive functions, contributing to a deeper understanding of how complex behaviors emerge from neural processes.

🐭 Can targeting Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) modulate α-synuclein propagation?
A study in Nature Communications (10.1038/s41467-026-68870-x) shows that anti-TLR2 immunotherapy reduces neuron-to-oligodendrocyte propagation of α-synuclein, limiting pathology and associated neuroinflammatory responses.

🎭 Can microglial calcium signaling shape behavior?
A study in Science Signaling (10.1126/scisignal.ady8398) shows that the calcium channel Orai1 controls microglial state transitions by coupling calcium signaling to inflammatory and metabolic programs, ultimately shaping behavioral responses to neuroinflammation.

🎆 How precisely can we track glutamate signaling?
A study in Nature Methods (10.1038/s41592-025-02965-z) introduces fourth-generation glutamate indicators, iGluSnFR4f and iGluSnFR4s, with increased sensitivity and tunable kinetics that enable detection of single-vesicle glutamate release in vivo.

🏃‍♀️‍Can astrocytes shape motor learning?
A study in Nature Neuroscience (10.1038/s41593-025-02072-4) shows that astrocytic Ca²⁺ signaling regulates learning-related synaptic plasticity in vivo by limiting repetitive dendritic activity, thereby preventing synaptic depotentiation during motor training.

👀 How does the brain link vision and touch?
A study in Nature (10.1038/s41586-025-09796-0) shows that visual and somatosensory body maps are topographically aligned across the human brain, revealing a shared organizational framework linking vision and touch.

🕰 Can we turn back the clock of senescent cells?
A study in Cell Metabolism (10.1016/j.cmet.2024.11.013) shows that exosomal miR-302b can reverse cellular senescence, restoring proliferative capacity in vitro and in vivo.
