🌟Exciting PhD & postdoc opportunities!🧠 Please retweet! Join our collaborative & friendly team and contribute to cutting-edge research on stress-related psychopathologies, bridging basic to clinical research with diverse exp' & comp' tools. weizmann.ac.il/brain-sciences…

Just out from the lab! New read! We show that mitochondrial mitofusin 2 in nucleus accumbens D2, but not D1, medium spiny neurons regulates social dominance & mito & neuronal phenotypes! Congrats to @SriparnaGhosal S_Astori &all the team! cell.com/cell-reports/f… @Brainmind_EPFL

First talk of the day at #EPBS2022 by our very own @alon_chen_lab - showing the lab's many discoveries in complex behavioral phenotyping over the years

A recent study from a team of researchers at the @WeizmannScience led by @alon_chen_lab reveals how exposure to trauma in infancy can alter the young brain and the importance of early treatment to reverse these changes. 🧠 weizmann.ca/trauma-in-the-… #BrainResearch #ChildDevelopment

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…

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…

Thanks again @OferYizhar for this amazing opportunity! I learned so much. And running down the hills of Erice at sunset was another unforgettable experience.

Presenting my research at the "Neurobiology of Social Behaviors" conference to some of the greatest minds in the field has been so exciting and humbling. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive & constructive environment for my first formal talk at an international conference

Researchers from Prof. Alon Chen’s laboratory, which specializes in studying the response to stress, hypothesized that innovative research methods could help to change the picture >> bit.ly/chronicstress-… @alon_chen_lab (2/2)

A recent study from @alon_chen_lab at @WeizmannScience discovered that certain brain cells respond to stress differently in males and females. This has the potential to impact mental and physical disorders from anxiety & depression to obesity & diabetes. buff.ly/3OFV4A4

Here's the agenda, feat. many experts in #MentalHealthResearch nimh.nih.gov/news/events/an… @NIMHDirector @NIHDirector @betenoire1 @DaniSBassett @ruimcosta @alon_chen_lab @SarahLisanbyMD @KarlDeisseroth @suzanahh @JamesJDiCarlo @cazaratejr @Huda_Akil1 @KarenDLincoln #shareNIMH

The team @alon_chen_lab aims to improve our understanding of how the brain copes with stress, so we can design better therapeutic interventions. Their experiments with mice 🐭 seek to identify the molecular, neural, and behavioural signatures of stress disorders. #shareNIMH

Congrats! Super exciting!! :)

Congrats! Amazing work!

Congrats! Very Exciting!

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

Very exciting news! Congrats to everyone involved! 🥳

Warm congratulations to Pablo on his new position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute! We wish him the best of luck and look forward to great science coming out of his lab. Visit his shiny new website to know more about the lab.
