Lab Members

Filipe is interested in sensory neuroscience, in particular how neural circuits develop, and how they compute sensory information to support behavior. Overarching these research topics is his fundamental interest in understanding how neural circuits are modified through evolution to generate novel behaviors.

Filipe did his graduate studies with Hernán López-Schier at the CRG, and a postdoc with Claude Desplan at NYU.

Outside the lab he dreams of becoming a decent piano player.

Vicente’s interests are at the crossroads between computational and developmental neuroscience. He is currently focused on how neuronal morphology and connectivity are established during development to support neural circuit function. In the long run, he seeks to understand how neural circuits underlie complex behaviors and adapt to changing environments over a lifetime.

Vicente did his undergrad training in Rita Teodoro’s lab at CEDOC in Lisbon, Portugal.

When he is not in the lab, he enjoys playing tennis, the guitar, and chess.
