Jimenez S, Senovilla-Ganzo R, Gallego-Flores T, Perez-Pascual E, Ordenana-Manso A, Rayo-Morales R, et al.
Methods Mol Biol . 2025 Mar; 2899:127-145. PMID: 40067621
This research introduces innovative tools for studying embryonic neurogenesis in the gecko Paroedura picta. Traditional research methods have been adapted for the gecko's unique biology, including variations of birthdating techniques...

Rueda-Alana E, Senovilla-Ganzo R, Grillo M, Vazquez E, Marco-Salas S, Gallego-Flores T, et al.
Science . 2025 Feb; 387(6735):eadp3411. PMID: 39946453
The amniote pallium contains sensory circuits that are structurally and functionally equivalent, yet their evolutionary relationship remains unresolved. We used birthdating analysis, single-cell RNA and spatial transcriptomics, and mathematical modeling...

Bonifazi G, Luchena C, Gaminde-Blasco A, Ortiz-Sanz C, Capetillo-Zarate E, Matute C, et al.
Neurobiol Dis . 2024 Mar; 194:106473. PMID: 38493903
The pathophysiological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is believed to begin many years before the formal diagnosis of AD dementia. This protracted preclinical phase offers a crucial window for potential...

Musotto R, Wanderlingh U, DAscola A, Spatuzza M, Catania M, De Pitta M, et al.
Front Cell Dev Biol . 2024 Feb; 12:1320672. PMID: 38322166
In an effort to help reduce the costs of fluorescence microscopy and expand the use of this valuable technique, we developed a low-cost platform capable of visualising and analysing the...

Chameh H, Falby M, Movahed M, Arbabi K, Rich S, Zhang L, et al.
Front Synaptic Neurosci . 2023 Oct; 15:1250834. PMID: 37860223
Electrophysiological characterization of live human tissue from epilepsy patients has been performed for many decades. Although initially these studies sought to understand the biophysical and synaptic changes associated with human...

De Pitta M, Brunel N
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Oct; 119(43):e2207912119. PMID: 36256810
Persistent activity in populations of neurons, time-varying activity across a neural population, or activity-silent mechanisms carried out by hidden internal states of the neural population have been proposed as different...

Kastanenka K, Moreno-Bote R, De Pitta M, Perea G, Eraso-Pichot A, Masgrau R, et al.
Glia . 2019 May; 68(1):5-26. PMID: 31058383
Systems neuroscience is still mainly a neuronal field, despite the plethora of evidence supporting the fact that astrocytes modulate local neural circuits, networks, and complex behaviors. In this article, we...

De Pitta M, Brunel N
Neural Plast . 2016 May; 2016:7607924. PMID: 27195153
Glutamatergic gliotransmission, that is, the release of glutamate from perisynaptic astrocyte processes in an activity-dependent manner, has emerged as a potentially crucial signaling pathway for regulation of synaptic plasticity, yet...

Wallach G, Lallouette J, Herzog N, De Pitta M, Ben Jacob E, Berry H, et al.
PLoS Comput Biol . 2014 Dec; 10(12):e1003964. PMID: 25521344
Neuron-astrocyte communication is an important regulatory mechanism in various brain functions but its complexity and role are yet to be fully understood. In particular, the temporal pattern of astrocyte response...

Lallouette J, De Pitta M, Ben-Jacob E, Berry H
Front Comput Neurosci . 2014 May; 8:45. PMID: 24795613
Traditionally, astrocytes have been considered to couple via gap-junctions into a syncytium with only rudimentary spatial organization. However, this view is challenged by growing experimental evidence that astrocytes organize as...
