Excited to share our preprint on brain-wide subnetworks within and between typical and autistic-like mice. Led by Dr. Odeya Marmor, collab with @haitham_amal. We recorded neural dynamics from dozens of brain areas from two naturally socializing mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Brain-Wide Subnetworks within and between Naturally Socializing Typical and Autism Model Mice

Social interaction is inherently asymmetric, requiring coordinated activity between non-homologous brain regions across individuals. However, the brain-wide dynamics underlying such inter-brain...

Thrilled to share Milan's & Nimrod's great work exploring the evolution of visual processing🐢📷. Combining neurophysiology with gaze estimation in freely viewing turtles, they identified view-invariant representations in dorsal cortex. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @ScienceAdvances

View-invariant representations in ancestral cortex

Turtle cortex encodes unexpected stimuli invariant to gaze, suggesting early evolution of cortical computation.

A new study shows that a small cluster of neurons called the locus coeruleus has a specialized pathway to the brainstem that controls sound-evoked awakening with the release of norepinephrine. @LabNir @NMatosevich scim.ag/4n7G8t9

התמונות האלה בלתי נתפסות. רבע לשמונה בערב, נחילי אדם זורמים מכל רחבי הארץ לכיכר החטופים. מאות אלפים בשבוע השני ברצף. כל זה בזמן מלחמה, כל זה אחרי שנתיים וחצי של מחאה, כל זה בסוף אוגוסט! מעולם לא הייתה בישראל ממשלה שנואה ונטולת לגיטימציה כמו הנוכחית. אין להם גב ציבורי לצאת למלחמת נצח עקובה מדם. אין להם מנדט ציבורי למסמס בפעם המי יודע כמה עיסקת חטופים. ההיסטוריה תשפוט את העבריינים האלה! באותו הזמן בדיוק: הם עוצרים ישיבת קבינט כדי ללכת לאכול ארוחת ערב חגיגית. שולחים 60,000 צווים בזמן שחמישה משרדי ממשלה מרימים מבצע הטסה של עריקים לאומן. אין ולא היה מאבק ציבורי נחוש ומעורר השראה כזה בעולם המערבי. עם שלם מקיא את נבחריו. עם שלם מפגין סולידריות נחושה כל כך כדי להציל 20 מבניו שמופקרים באכזריות שומטת לסת על ידי חבורה של מטורללים תאבי שלטון. אי אפשר יהיה לעצור את נחישות הזאת. הם לא יכריעו את ה-DNA הישראלי. נחזיר אותם הביתה. נעיף את העבריינים. נקים ועדת חקירה ממלכתית. נתקן!
