This study made its way to the Apr 2021 issue of Nature Neuroscience. Congratulations She will be presenting her work in a webinar on November 18th, starting at 12:30 pm. The Zoom-ID for this meeting is 845 0235 9100. Join the webinar to follow Dr. Paredes´ talk, and also to get to know a few other DGZ awardees!
