Excited to share our latest paper - now out in @science.org - we showed how oxytocin modulates maternally-directed behavior in young mice (P15).

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨(1/6) Excited to share our work, out now in Science Advances We show that a rapid norepinephrine surge along a brainstem pathway (LC→PRN) is a key driver of sound-evoked awakenings www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

No one ever steps in the same movie twice. Anticipatory gaze 👁️ indicate episodic memory seconds before an event occurs. 🧠🐾 Very robust effects across both natural and crafted movies, and of course, after sleep! 😴. Out today in Communication Psychology: www.nature.com/articles/s44... Check it out!

How interesting! Activity patterns in individual neurons drift over time, even in subcortical sleep- and wake-promoting regions -- while populations remain stable. Beautiful work from @Tidis__ @CaroGHerrera: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

Had a brilliant time at #SXSWLondon Corundum Neuroscience panel discussing the future of sleep - issues ranging from monitoring health, through unique interventions, recording EEG via earbuds, to disengaging from ruminations falling asleep & lucid dreaming w/ Caroline Lustenberger, Simon Bachmann

So very proud of our own @OmerBenBarak1 who received the prestigious Sieratzki PhD scholarship for her research on pupillometry and gaze imaging in closed eye conditions, well done Omer!

Astrocytes.. we having been paying enough attention: www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Very Cool work. Seems body and brain are somewhat related... who would have guessed

Delighted to have played a part in this work, now out in @cellpress.bsky.social, where we show how soluble high molecular weight tau from Alzheimer’s brain suppresses burst firing in hippocampal neurons.

Check out our new publication - "SleepEEGpy" - a python-based pipeline for sleep EEG preprocessing/visualization/analysis, work led by @falach.bsky.social

Another co-first added during revisions

Curious how infant brains fold? I’m excited to share our new study spearheaded by Sarah Tung and Vaidehi Natu now on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Sarah and Vaidehi examined how the grooves of the brain (sulci) develop in individual infant’s brain during the first year of life.
