🧠Big news: @CaixaResearch 2025 Health Call has funded a project to decode how the brain processes other emotions & guides prosocial decisions. Led by @CrisMarquezVega, DYNABrain leader, and supported by cutting-edge neuroscience tools. 👏To the team for this important step!
1/ 💭🤔 The brain mechanisms that allow us to understand and respond to others’ emotions are still largely unknown. With a #HealthResearch grant, @CrisMarquezVega will use advanced techniques to study them and expand our understanding of decision-making. 👇 tinyurl.com/5eux8p6d
