2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: congratulations to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel! 👏👏👏

The award recognises the development of optogenetics, a technique that makes it possible to control the activity of neurons using light.💡

How do we study something as complex as the brain? 🧠 There is no single technique. We combine molecules, cells, behavior and human brain imaging to understand how the brain learns, stores memories and ages. 💭

We spend a third of our lives asleep. 🌙 But the brain doesn't switch off! Sleep is intense activity, tied to synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation. What happens when sleep fails? That question, especially in Alzheimer's, drives our lab. 🧠

Taking over the ICVS social media from Leuven! 🇧🇪💙

I’m Ana Rita Fernandes, part of the MemAD team and a Joint PhD researcher at the University of Minho & KU Leuven.

At VIB-KU Leuven, I study Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on APP processing and cellular mechanisms. 🧠🔬

🧠 Beyond memory loss, Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects memory, thinking, language, orientation and autonomy.

Understanding the disease is essential to reducing stigma and supporting those who live with it.
