The ULL brings together national experts at the III Meeting of Neuroscience Researchers

The Hotel School of Santa Cruz de Tenerife recently hosted the III Meeting of Researchers of University Institute of Neuroscience of the University of La Laguna, a well-established scientific event that seeks to promote and strengthen research in neuroscience, as well as foster transfer and innovation with a marked social impact. 

The event featured presentations by nationally and internationally renowned speakers. Of particular note was the presentation by Professor María del Rosario Rueda Cuerva from the University of Granada, who delivered a lecture on "Early Development of the Executive Brain," providing key insights into the neurological processes involved in executive functions from the earliest stages of human development. Also featured was Professor Alfonso Barros Loscertales from the Universitat Jaume I, who presented a lecture entitled "Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory," exploring how brain mechanisms related to reward and motivation influence human behavior.

This third meeting provided a strategic space for in-person gathering and dialogue, where neuroscience experts were able to define and strengthen the Institute's various research areas and lines of inquiry, while also consolidating new collaborative synergies. Likewise, strategies were discussed to promote the effective transfer of scientific knowledge to society and foster innovation in such a crucial field as neuroscience. 

It is worth noting that this scientific event has been made possible thanks to funding obtained from the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Transfer of the University of La Laguna, within the framework of the call for proposals aimed at supporting the organization of national and international congresses, scientific meetings, conferences and seminars during the year 2025. This meeting reflects the commitment of the University of La Laguna to the promotion and dissemination of scientific knowledge and is positioned as a fundamental space, driven by the University Institute of Neuroscience, to continue moving towards a more informed society committed to the current challenges in the field of brain health and social well-being.
