She received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Jaén. During graduate school she worked under the direction of Dr. Carmen Torres investigating genetic vulnerability to frustration. Marta received several awards that allowed her to work at the University of Cagliari, Italy and the University of California, Irvine. She moved to the US to work at the laboratories of Dr. Stefan Leutgeb and Dr. Robert Clark at UCSD during her postdoc, where she investigated the neuronal mechanisms of working and long-term memory storage.
