@imperialbrains.bsky.social Proud and delighted to wish our own Barak Hadad good luck! Barak just joined the lab of Nir Grossman at @imperialbrains.bsky.social London to take #temporal interference (TI) to new levels. Good luck Barak! Looking forward to your amazing scientific discoveries

Proud to share that our own @nmatosevich.bsky.social just received the Rotschild Fellowship to study how breathing and breathlessness interact to modulate emotions and arousal, at the Kevin Yackle lab @ucsfhealth.bsky.social . Good luck Noa! Looking forward to your amazing scientific discoveries

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...

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

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.
