Our new @natureneuro paper is out! We employed circuit manipulations in transgenic WILD MICE, revealing a sexually dimorphic role of oxytocin neurons in social conflict. An admired team effort led by @ItsikSofer with our programmer Silvia Chuartzman nature.com/articles/s4159…

VERY excited to share our new paper in @CurrentBiology on sex differences in dominance hierarchy, in groups of WILD mice. A fun collaboration with @UriAlonWeizmann cell.com/current-biolog…

Assigning the appropriate animal model for the scientific question, rather than adapting the scientific question to the available/convenient model. Great work and important advocacy for the need to use diverse animal models.

Tali Kimchi's lab @WeizmannScience is hiring! We are looking for motivated post-docs & grad students, to take part in an exciting new project, studying social behavior in the solitary blind mole rat (Spalax). Please share
