Zipping and uploading the final (??) version of the next Multi-Agent Behavior dataset: - 226 hours of newly released frame-by-frame behavior annotations, all w/tracking and video - 395 hours of tracking data - 9046 total video clips Competition launches in January! Stay tuned 🐭
Happy to share our paper in @elife 🥳: "Cortical Plasticity is associated with Blood-Brain-Barrier Modulation" doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
Boycotting academics in Israel is counterproductive nature.com/articles/d4158… In this correspondence to Nature, my colleagues Mouna Maroun, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Roi Avraham, Shir Atzil, and I explain why boycotting the Israeli academia is counterproductive.

I'm very happy to share our new study published today in @ScienceAdvances showing how Early Life Adversity leads to social deficits later in life. It was great to work on this one with my best friends Aron Kos and @JulienDine at @alon_chen_lab. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Congrats Pablo! Looking forward to reading it!
This is a fun short piece that I got to write with my friend and mentor @alon_chen_lab for @TheLancetNeuro. We highlight here 5 important studies published in the field of neuropsychiatric research during 2023. Link: thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
That's amazing Pablo - congrats!
I’m extremely happy and proud to have received funding and support from @ERC_Research #ERCStG FASTeR will investigate the Fast-acting Antidepressant Signatures of Treatment Response using psychedelic compounds @karolinskainst @StratNeuro
Congrats Elena and team for this fantastic work!
My PhD work is finally ready for the world to be read! Jump on @CellReports if you are interested in the effect of sex and stress on the brain. #sexdifferences #stress #neuroscience #singlecell cell.com/cell-reports/f…
Congrats Pablo and everyone involved in this amazing project!
Very happy to share our new study published today in @CellReports. We explored a very important question, which is how does stress affect the brains of males and females differently? Here: cell.com/cell-reports/f…
Interested to identify a behavioral profile specific for socially defeated mice? Use the new open-source tool DeepOF developed by @MathiasVSchmidt and colleagues. Congrats, great work Mathias! rdcu.be/dhdmO

Congrats @JWietek et al! I've been very fortunate and humbled to take (a tiny) part in this incredibly impressive team effort!
New preprint from the lab! We conducted a systematic analysis of bistable optoGPCRs for presynaptic inhibition, which led to the characterization of PdCO: a bistable inhibitory OptoGPCR for multiplexed optogenetic control of neural circuits biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Very exciting to finally see this out! Congrats Yoav et al.
Our paper from @OferYizhar's lab is out today! Bring it to your next journal club! Many thanks to everyone involved in this teamwork: @iampritishpatil, @M__Mahn, @AsafBenj, Anna Litvin, Rivka Levy, @MaxBringmann, and of course @OferYizhar. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Yair Shemesh and Alon Chen discuss the importance of semi-natural environments, complex behavior and rich social contexts for bridging the translational gap in biological psychiatry.
