A CIMCYC study shows that the brain retains its ability to combine information from different senses during the transition towards sleep, although the neural dynamics supporting this process are altered.
Did you know that economic inequality can influence how we view relationships between women and men? A new study conducted by CIMCYC researchers Sabina de León, Rosa Rodríguez Bailón, Pilar Pérez Álvarez and Jesús López Megías confirms that it does. Specifically, when we perceive economic resources to be distributed very unequally, we tend to view relationships between women and men as more competitive and less cooperative.

For years, sports science has operated on the assumption that engaging in a demanding mental task impairs athletic performance. Now, a series of studies led by Darías Holgado—a PhD graduate from the University of Granada (UGR) and researcher at UniDistance Suisse—in collaboration with Daniel Sanabria, a scientist at the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center at UGR, confirm that, contrary to popular belief, prior cognitive effort does not negatively affect physical exertion physiology, perceived exertion or athletic performance.
El Centro de Investigación Mente, Cerebro y Comportamiento (CIMCYC) ha obtenido un excelente resultado en la resolución provisional de la convocatoria de Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2025 de la Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI).
The research, led by Agar Marín-Morales (CIMCYC) and a team of researchers from the University of Valencia and Chile, focused on whether oxytocin levels (a neuropeptide involved in empathy) differed in response to others' pain depending on the type of violence committed. Specifically, 31 men convicted of gender-based violence participated in the study: 13 convicted of psychological violence and 18 convicted of physical violence, alongside a control group of 33 men with no criminal record.
During the 2025/2026 academic year, the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada welcomed over 200 visitors to its facilities, bringing neuroscience and psychology closer to the public.
