#Throwback! This finding still blows my mind. 🤯 We demonstrated that beliefs about nicotine strength drive dose-dependent signals in the brain, physiologically mimicking the drug itself, even when the actual dose is constant. Beliefs change biology 👇 nature.com/articles/s4422…

Excited to see our NMH paper featured here for #WorldMentalHealthDay! rdcu.be/dYl7T Many psychiatric symptoms are inherently social. @XiaosiGu, @JoeBarnby, & I call for models that reflect processes most relevant to our questions, esp. for those about social symptoms
Nature Computational Science@NatComputSci

🚨To celebrate #WorldMentalHealthDay, our October issue includes a Focus that examines the advances in computational psychiatry and the challenges of developing and deploying computational models to address mental health disorders. ➡️nature.com/collections/cd… 🧵(1/8)

A new semester here at University of Haifa and with it comes something I have been wanting for a long time: a full semester course devoted entirely to human olfaction. Apparently "let's spend 13 weeks talking about odors, stench, sniffing, and pheromones" did not scare them off.

Always nice when science translates to real world observations (watch till the end!) Frumin et al. "A social chemosignaling function for human handshaking" 👋👃🏻 elifesciences.org/articles/05154

New fMRI study shows the hippocampus signals mismatches only when our expectations are based on episodic memories — not general knowledge. Challenges theories of the hippocampus as a domain-general comparator: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

@LiorTal4 It makes every bit of sense to become attached to such a building, Lior. ❤️

It doesn’t really make sense to feel this attached to a building (one I haven’t set foot in since 2017), but I spent 10 years of my life in it, making friends & scientific discoveries. It was a kind of second home. And now that it’s gone, I’m honestly very sad to say goodbye.

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.

👃🚨 NEW PAPER ALERT🚨👃 Just out in @CurrentBiology - "Humans have nasal respiratory fingerprints" by Timna Soroka et al. (link to #OpenAccess paper @ comment!) TL;DR - Human nasal respiratory fingerprints are individually unique patterns that reflect brain-driven respiration

Nachum's new book Natural Neuroscience is out! A fresh take on how brains work in the real world—well worth a read.

An incredibly comprehensive piece by Tort and colleagues showing to what extent brain activity is shaped by respiration. Take a deep breath and dive in 🤿 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Yesterday was my last day with the Ben-Yakov human memory lab at @ELSCbrain. After two and a half wonderful years, going away is bittersweet. I now look forward to starting a new path as a PI @UofHaifa and to forming new hippocampus-mediated memories.
