DESCRIPTION:The brain relies on a diverse group of cells called GABAergic 
 interneurons to maintain balance and regulate communication between neuro
 ns. These specialized cells play a crucial role in brain function\, and w
 hen they don’t work properly\, they have been linked to epilepsy and cogn
 itive deficits in many neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.\n\nD
 espite their importance\, we are only beginning to understand how these c
 ells develop\, connect\, and adapt. In this talk\, I will share insights 
 from our research on how interneurons form\, how their numbers are contro
 lled\, and how they integrate into brain circuits to support healthy func
 tion.\n\n[b]About Oscar Marín[/b]\nOscar Marín is a Professor of Neurosci
 ence and Director of the MRC Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders and 
 the Centre for Developmental Neurobiology at King’s College London. He gr
 aduated in Biology and obtained a PhD in Neuroscience from Universidad Co
 mplutense in Madrid (Spain)\, followed by postdoctoral training at UCSF (
 USA). He was a group leader at the Institute of Neuroscience in Alicante 
 (Spain) before joining King’s in 2014. In 2005\, he was selected as one o
 f the founding members of the Scientific Council of the European Research
  Council\, where he served until 2010. He is a Member of the European Mol
 ecular Biology Organization\, a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences
 \, and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Oscar is known for his discoveries 
 concerning the development of the cerebral cortex\, with special referenc
 e to the development of inhibitory interneurons. His discoveries have pro
 vided a novel conceptual paradigm that illuminates current research on th
 e origin of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia
 . He serves on several editorial and advisory boards and has received mul
 tiple prizes\, including the Rey Jaime I Award for Basic Research (2011)\
 , Prix Roger de Spoelberch (2014)\, the Cajal Medal from the Spanish Roya
 l Academy of Sciences (2017)\, the ECNP Neuropsychopharmacology Award (20
 23)\, and the FENS-EJN Award (2024).\n\n[b]Venue[/b]\nThe DIAS Auditorium
