Final version is online @nature! Voltage imaging combined with Optogenetics stimulation to record spikes and subthreshold dynamics from multiple hippocampal neurons in behaving mice. Huge thanks to @AdamEzraCohen, and all our amazing collaborators! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Exicted to share our new preprint on how mice transfer sensory information and working memory across hemispheres. Quick answer, it depends on the mouse! Heroic work by @elad_avidan1 with help from @ShlomoSherer. Most difficult mouse training ever! biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

The project was led by @QixinYang77, an amazing grad student in my lab @ELSCbrain

Pyramidal neurons showed strong divisive gain modulation, which was surprisingly specific to complex spikes. In collaboration with @mikilon, we developed a two-compartment model suggesting that coordinated somatic and dendritic E/I input drives this burst-specific gain control

Excited to share our new paper published @NeuroCellPress! We used voltage imaging combined with optogenetics in 4 major hippocampal cell types to study how the behavioural state modulates their firing, subthreshold dynamics, and gain authors.elsevier.com/a/1mego3BtfHD0…

New lab preprint! Can we study conscious perception of gut sensations in mice to reveal its neuronal basis? Can we train mice to report their gut sensations? Omer Rafael and Stav Shtiglitz in the lab teamed up to discover that…YES! Thread…1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

My group at IOB (Basel) is recruiting a Research Associate to develop and refine engineered ion channels. You’ll work on: • computational/structural design of ion channels and related membrane proteins

Recently published in Science: a new study co-led by Prof. Yifat Prut of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC). @PrutYifat 👉 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

lab preprint! Interopceptive predictions are central to many brain-body interactions theories,but it's unclear if/how they affect the body. We (fearless Einav Litvak et al) show that insular cortex predictions are essential for glucose homeostasis-THREAD.. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Thrilled to share Milan's & Nimrod's great work exploring the evolution of visual processing🐢📷. Combining neurophysiology with gaze estimation in freely viewing turtles, they identified view-invariant representations in dorsal cortex. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ScienceAdvances

@Spiegel_Lab Congratulations!!!

Tenure! Been dreamin’ of this for a long time, and now it feels a bit like the one figure that summarizes years of experiments, only on steroids 😀 A GIANT THANK YOU to all my lab members, trainees, mentors, colleagues, friends, and especially my family who made this possible.

Excited to share our preprint on brain-wide subnetworks within and between typical and autistic-like mice. Led by Dr. Odeya Marmor, collab with @haitham_amal. We recorded neural dynamics from dozens of brain areas from two naturally socializing mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

מוצא את עצמי המון פעמים תוהה מה פשר השנאה אלינו בעולם! פאקינג הם התחילו במלחמה והם אלו שעדיין מחזיקים 55 חטופים בעזה. אנחנו נלחמים כדי להחזיר את החטופים ולמוטט את החמאס! אבל אז אני קורא ששר האוצר אומר ש״עזה זה בוננזה של נדל״ן ואת שלב ההריסה כבר עשינו״ ואז יש לי קצת פחות תהיות.

Over 450 Israeli academics and I signed this declaration in 48 hours, with more joining. Civilians must be protected—not starved or killed. Our gov’t is adopting Hamas’s values, not defending humanity. This brings no real security to Israel. #NotInOurName

How do animals stay precise when their whole brain heats up or cools down? Larval zebrafish hunt accurately across a 10°C range. What enables such stability? What mechanism might support it? #zebrafish #neuroscience #temperature @STishbyTamari @ELSCbrain doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

In the past year and a half, we have been intensively protesting and fighting the Israeli government in an attempt to stop the war, secure the release of all hostages, and prevent the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Until now, our protests have primarily been focused internally.

ELSC invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in neuroscience. We're looking for exceptional early-career scientists to lead innovative, interdisciplinary, and impactful research. Apply Now: lnkd.in/dBmxtGk ttp.huji.ac.il

A brief summary of our preprint: We developed a new assay that allows whole-brain neural recording in a fish as it observes and responds to a conspecific (1/4)

Excited to share! Whole-brain imaging during real-time social interaction uncovers a neural signature predicting social actions and individual differences. #SocialNeuroscience #SocialBehavior #Zebrafish @ImriLifshitz @ELSCbrain biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
