The main focus of her lab is to understand the function of the hippocampal circuits in the normal and the diseased brain, in particular oscillations and neuronal representations. She is a leading international expert in the study of the basic mechanisms of physiological ripples and epileptic fast ripples, with strong visibility as developer of novel groundbreaking electrophysiological tools. Dr. de la Prida serves as an Editor for prestigious journals including eLife, Journal of Neuroscience Methods and eNeuro, and has commissioning duties in the American Epilepsy Society, FENS and the Spanish Society for Neurosciences.

The ALBA Network is organizing a webinar on LGBTQIA+ inclusion and visibility. This special event will feature a panel of established scientists in brain research who identify as LGBTQIA+. Speaker will discuss their goals, challenges and successes while navigating academia as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Registration is free but mandatory.

The ALBA Network and Black in Neuro are partnering to bring the Black neuroscientific community in Europe together. Are you a Black neuroscientist based in Europe? If so, join us for this casual online networking event. We will share our experience, stories and knowledge about what it is to be black in Europe while working in brain research. We will also discuss potential actions ALBA and BiN could take to provide better visibility to the community. This is a time to get to know each other, share, network and relate. Please register to receive the link to the zoom meeting.
