Super excited to share our recent study out in Nature! This was a huge team effort with key contribution from Felicity Gore, @kevinwkelley, @KarlDeisseroth, @HuguenardLab and @Sergiu_P_Pasca nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Congratulations John, @VantommeGil. Elegant and beautiful study 💯

🎉Exciting news! Our lab's first paper, "Vocal labeling of others by nonhuman primates," is now published in @Science! 🐒 Dive into our findings on how marmoset monkeys use vocal labels similar to human names and dialects. Check it out! 1/6 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

This week in @NatureProtocols we are sharing a detailed method for transplanting human stem cell–derived neural organoids into the somatosensory cortex of newborn rats as well as assays to functionally probe host circuit integration of the graft and test behavor. This is the 3rd article in a series to share step-by-step protocols for generating regionalized neural #organoids and #assembloids (links below), and is also the basis for our international Stanford @BrOrganogenesis hands-on course here on campus. Work led by the remarkable trio Kevin Kelley (@kevinwkelley), Felicity Gore & Omer Revah (@RevahLab)! and in collaboration with the @KarlDeisseroth lab.

We are looking for a new manager for our microscopy core facility @ELSCbrain @HebrewU. It's a great opportunity for Ph.D.-level scientists with experience in optical imaging, please spread the word

Interested in using stem cells to create more mature human cortical neurons for studying intact living brain circuits? Excited to share our @NatureProtocols @RevahLab, Felicity Gore, @KaganovskyNeuro, @XiaoyuChenxy, @KarlDeisseroth, @Sergiu_P_Pasca nature.com/articles/s41596-0…

After almost a decade, I have made the decision to leave OpenAI.  The company’s trajectory has been nothing short of miraculous, and I’m confident that OpenAI will build AGI that is both safe and beneficial under the leadership of @sama, @gdb, @miramurati and now, under the excellent research leadership of @merettm.  It was an honor and a privilege to have worked together, and I will miss everyone dearly.   So long, and thanks for everything. I am excited for what comes next — a project that is very personally meaningful to me about which I will share details in due time.

Congratulations! Stellar study 🎉🤩🥳

Today, I’m thrilled have our lab’s work featured on the cover of @Nature In this article, we have developed a therapeutic approach for a severe condition called Timothy syndrome. This has been a long journey. It started with making hiPS cell-derived neurons in 2D cultures 15 years ago when I was a postdoc and continued with later creating in the lab #organoid and then #assembloid models of this disease caused by a mutation in a calcium channel. Over time, these human cellular models and the biological insights we gained enable us to design a therapeutic strategy, which we validated in vivo following circuit integration of patient-derived organoids into the rat brain. Grateful for the incredible work led by @XiaoyuChenxy and @fikribirey in the lab! And the many close collaborators who participated to this line of research over the years.

Amazing study!

Congratulations Carmel, Dalit and the team! 👏

הקול הישראלי המוערך והאפקטיבי ביותר בעולם הוא יובל נוח הררי. אני מציע שהקברניטים שלנו יביטו בקטע הקצר הזה, בCNN. בלי איומי נקמה תנ"כיים. ללא סיסמאות. מדויק, קר רוח, לא מתלהם.

The leadership of the Hebrew University in a strongly-worded, unequivocal response letter to the presidents of Harvard and Stanford universities, following their weak condemnation of Hamas: "You have failed us, not only as Israelis, who are subject to the imminent threat of being subject to genocide, but also as leaders of an academic institution, who expect their colleagues to present higher moral standards, and more courage.” The letter is signed by Prof. Asher Cohen, President of the Hebrew University, Prof. Tamir Shafer, Rector of the Hebrew University and Prof. Barak Medina To read the full letters: en.huji.ac.il/news/letters-p…

Good news: 30 missing people have been rescued and are safe and sound. They were hiding in Kibbutz Ein HaShlosha, 16 Israelis and 14 foreign nationals from Thailand.

RT @TheMossadIL: Look at this picture. Describe what Hamas did here.

There are now hundreds of genes associated with autism & neurodevelopmental disorders but what key processes in brain development they each disrupt remains unknown. In an article in @Nature today, we start tackling this question by combining forebrain #assembloids with CRISPR screens to map >400 disease genes onto stages of human cortical interneuron development. Using engineered lines, regionalized neural #organoids and over 1,000 #assembloids, we discovered a group of disease genes that interfere with GABAergic neuron generation or migration, including some surprising disease mechanisms. Check out the video below for details. This work was led by the fearless @XianglingM in the lab!! In collaboration with Bassik lab & @panagiog lab!

Congratulations Neta!

Congratulations 👏🎉

Really happy to share our preprint. The product of a truly delightful collaboration with @neal_amin , which started with a simple question: how can we systematically generate diverse human brain cell types in a dish? bit.ly/43o0qEK 5/
