👩‍🔬 La Dra. Ana Belén Muñoz-Manchado, investigadora Ramón y Cajal en la Unidad de Biología Celular de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Cádiz y líder del grupo «Genética y Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas» y coordinadora del Programa de «Neurociencias y Comportamiento» del INiBICA, ha dirigido un estudio que, en colaboración con instituciones como el Instituto Karolinska (Suecia) y la Universidad de Harvard, ha revelado nuevos tipos de neuronas en el estriado, una región del cerebro implicada en el control de movimientos.

📘 This study, published in the prestigious scientific journal *Nature Communications*, uses advanced sequencing techniques to explore cellular diversity and differences among subregions of the striatum, with implications for understanding diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's.

🎯 The next focus of the Team will be to investigate the role of these new neurons in neural circuits and their relationship to neurodegenerative diseases.
