Todas las células del cuerpo tienen el mismo ADN, pero no todas hacen lo mismo. Una neurona y una célula de la piel, por ejemplo, activan genes distintos. La gran pregunta es: ¿hasta qué punto puede una célula cambiar su identidad? Un nuevo estudio aporta una pieza clave: no solo importa qué genes se activan, […]
¿Puede el entrenamiento de alta intensidad proteger nuestro funcionamiento psicológico?
2026-05-09
Un equipo de la Universidad de Granada unió fisiología del ejercicio y psicología de la salud para descubrir si el entrenamiento de alta intensidad protege la salud mental. BEER-HIIT, analiza cómo un programa de ejercicio físico de alta intensidad influye sobre la salud mental y el bienestar psicosocial de jóvenes de entre 18 y 40 años. Una pregunta adicional lo hace […]
Can High-Intensity Training Protect Our Psychological Functioning?
2026-05-09
A team from the University of Granada has integrated exercise physiology and health psychology to determine whether high-intensity training protects mental health. The BEER-HIIT study analyzes how a high-intensity physical exercise program influences the mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of young adults between the ages of 18 and 40. A unique aspect of this research […]
Padé Approximants for Noise Filtering for Experimental Data 2026-05-08Image Seminar Padé Approximants for Noise Filtering for Experimental Data Date 18/05 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: We present a method for exploring the presence of noise, which may mimic systematic errors in experimental datasets, particularly when such errors introduce inconsistencies. The method is based on Padé approximants designed for Stieltjes functions, […]
Rare Semileptonic Decays from Kaons to B Mesons 2026-05-08Image Seminar Rare Semileptonic Decays from Kaons to B Mesons Date 13/05 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: Rare semileptonic decays provide some of the most sensitive probes of the Standard Model across both light- and heavy-quark sectors. I will begin with a brief pedagogical introduction to how flavor-changing processes connect kaon and […]

What memory has to balance: Representational drift, network freezing, and the mechanisms that hold neural circuits in between
2026-05-07
Two recent papers from the Computational and Mathematical Neuroscience group at CRM ask what makes neural circuits drift in the first place, and what keeps them from collapsing under their own learning rules. One, published in PNAS, traces representational drift in the mouse auditory cortex to an ongoing balance between learning and stochastic synaptic change. […]
Illuminating binary evolution with Luminous Red Novae, their progenitors, and their dusty aftermath 2026-05-07Image ICCUB Colloquium Illuminating binary evolution with Luminous Red Novae, their progenitors, and their dusty aftermath Date 27/05 Place “Aula Magna Enric Casassas”, Physics Faculty Abstract: Binary stellar interactions create a wide range of high-impact astrophysical phenomena, including novae, supernovae, X-ray binaries, and gravitational-wave sources. A key open problem is how initially wide binaries evolve into […]

Biggest black holes born in busy star clusters in violent merging events, research finds 2026-05-07Image Credits NASA, ESA, STScI, and A. Sarajedini (University of Florida). Language English The most massive black holes in the Universe detected by the ripples they make in space time were not born directly from collapsing stars, according to a new study. These cosmic giants instead build up through a series of repeated and extremely violent […]
