Journal Article
Negredo, A. M., van Hunen, J., Rodríguez-González, J., & Fullea, J. (2022). On the origin of the Canary Islands: Insights from mantle convection modelling. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 584, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2022.117506

The Canary Islands hotspot consists of seven volcanic islands, mainly of Neogene age, rooted on oceanic Jurassic lithosphere. Its complex structure and geodynamic setting have led to different hypotheses about its origin and evolution, which is still...

Cortex commands the performance of skilled movement (2015)
Journal Article
Guo, J., Graves, A., Guo, W., Zheng, J., Lee, A., Rodríguez-González, J., …Hantman, A. (2015). Cortex commands the performance of skilled movement. eLife, 4, Article e10774. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.10774

Mammalian cerebral cortex is accepted as being critical for voluntary motor control, but what functions depend on cortex is still unclear. Here we used rapid, reversible optogenetic inhibition to test the role of cortex during a head-fixed task in wh... Read More about Cortex commands the performance of skilled movement.

Influence of cratonic lithosphere on the formation and evolution of flat slabs: Insights from 3-D time-dependent modeling (2015)
Journal Article
Taramón, J., Rodríguez-González, J., Negredo, A., & Billen, M. (2015). Influence of cratonic lithosphere on the formation and evolution of flat slabs: Insights from 3-D time-dependent modeling. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 16(9), 2933-2948. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015gc005940

Several mechanisms have been suggested for the formation of flat slabs including buoyant features on the subducting plate, trenchward motion and thermal or cratonic structure of the overriding plate. Analysis of episodes of flat subduction indicate t... Read More about Influence of cratonic lithosphere on the formation and evolution of flat slabs: Insights from 3-D time-dependent modeling.
