First lab research paper is officially out! Superstar @itaytalpir investigated population activity patterns of insular cortex (aka activity manifold). We were surprised to find they were extremely consistent... See thread. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. nature.com/articles/s4158…
"I look forward to the day when Israeli scientists can freely collaborate with scientists in Iran and do good for the region and for humanity. I wish the same for scientists in Gaza and throughout the Middle East". Proud to be part of @WeizmannScience nature.com/articles/d4158…

Truly honored to receive the Krill Prize from @WolfPrize_! These are really terrible times for Israel and for Israeli Academia. Seems like good news are so few and far between these days. So I guess we should celebrate what we can with a celebratory tweet (:
Congratulations to Dr. @Yoav_Livneh of the Brain Sciences Department upon being Awarded the 2024 Krill Prize
We wrote a letter on the academic boycott of Israel Boycotting a major liberal sector in Israel can be counterproductive, empowering extremists Promoting inclusivity and dialogue is a better path to fostering change in Israel nature.com/articles/d4158…
Happy to share that our article on the COMBO window is now published! #PLOSBiology plos.io/3yUeOKx Huge thanks to our incredible team and the reviewers! 🙌 #openscience @MPIforBI @MBExC_de @yourUMG @uniGoettingen @mpi_psychiatry
✨New preprint✨ Ever dreamed of combining brain-wide fUS imaging, two-photon imaging, ephys, and optogenetics in mice during your favorite head-fixed task? Want to also capture their facial expressions? We present the COMBO window to facilitate all these techniques!
Unique opportunity for new faculty at our institute! Come join us at @mpi_psychiatry as a Max Planck Research Group Leader and do fantastic research at the interface!

Ever had a bad gut feeling ? Maybe there was something to it! In our new study, led by the brillant @leahbanellis & @BrainAndStomach, we combined fMRI & electrogastrographic imaging in 200+ participants to uncover hidden links between the gastric-brain axis & mental health…
Happy to announce that our paper on PdCO is finally out @naturemethods - check out this great tutorial by the awesome @JWietek:

Our system neuro approach to model willful seeking of a starvation state in mice, which is a hallmark of anorexia nervosa . Now published @NeuroCellPress cell.com/neuron/abstrac… Big thanks to @andermann_mark and @Oren_Amsalem @andrewlutas and Trent Pottala
Anorexia nervosa is a curious eating disorder where individuals go against their homeostatic needs and practice food restriction and self-starvation. We focused on a single symptom of this complex condition to see what it could teach us bit.ly/3IjaJ4A
