Baby Kfir and his mom were taken hostage at gunpoint by Hamas terrorists 3 weeks ago. Terrorizing children isn’t resistance. It’s cowardly and cruel. Raise your voice and help bring them home. #BringThemHome

Bring them home! Now!

Here is another excellent example why working with animals is so challenging: the arousal level of the experimenter will affect the behavioral and neurochemical outcome. Very interesting study! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share our new paper published today Nature Neuroscience, led by a fantastic scientist Julieta Lis. In the study, we showed that Foxp2 cells in the medial amygdala are destined to represent male information and promote aggression in male mice. rdcu.be/dqHEa

May her memory be a blessing 💔

9 Israeli children are still being held hostage in Gaza #BringThemHomeNow

📚 Dive into our latest work molecularpsychiatry uncovering the role of #oxytocin signaling within the Supramammillary Nucleus (SuM) of the Hypothalamus in social recognition memory🧠🐁. Congratulations to Keerthi Rajamani and the entire team!🎉🥳🥂 link.springer.com/article/10.103…

Happy to share our latest work, conducted by my talented Ph.D. students Alok Nath Mohapatra and David Peles and supervised by Dr. Shai Netser. In this work, we show how social context is encoded by the pattern of theta coherence in the "social brain" of mice.

New from our lab. The elegant work of Ami Ritter 🇮🇱 and the excellent team. Identifying mPFC system which hanges after adversity pushing the SC to increase safety distance. And also: optogenetics,lasers,robo-beetle, DeepLabCut 🦄 and more now in Nature Communications . rdcu.be/dAE0h

Happy to see this out in Neuron. Huikun Wang, a staff scientist in our lab, demonstrates that ventromedial prefrontal cortical dynorphin signaling constrains threat-driven passive defensive behavior and switches in network states. Thread below. cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

Our new paper is out! How mPFC SOM+ inhibitory projections to the Retrosplenial Cortex modulate Emotion Recognition :) rdcu.be/dIrgP

Happy to see this collaborative work out Nature Neuroscience majestically led by Francesco Papaleo and his superstar🌟team! Take-home messages for brain imagers: 1⃣ Human👨default mode network (DMN) connectivity (PFC--> PCC) is associated with emotion recognition 1/2

Truly honored to receive the Krill Prize from Wolf Prize! These are really terrible times for Israel and for Israeli Academia. Seems like good news are so few and far between these days. So I guess we should celebrate what we can with a celebratory tweet (:

Dear friends and colleagues, I am happy to share with you our latest review paper - Understanding the neurobiology of social behavior through exploring brain-wide dynamics of neural activity authors.elsevier.com/a/1jf9gY3M3i2Iv

Thrilled and proud to share this work where Sarah Mondoloni, the MLab and friends revealed that serotonin increase in habenula promotes resilience!! @dnf_neuro Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
